Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Fox Hill School is a historic school building at 81 Water Street in Danvers, Massachusetts, USA. Built in 1879 and in use as a school until the 1970s, it is one of two surviving one-room schoolhouses in the town. It now houses a preschool.[1] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[2]

Description and history

The Fox Hill School stands in eastern Danvers, at the southwest corner of Water and Endicott Streets. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade faces toward Water Street and the Crane River just beyond. It is symmetrical, with a pair of entrance on the main floor and a sash window in the gable above. The doorways are set in surrounds with pilasters, transom windows, and a slightly gabled pediment; the latter detail is repeated in the window surrounds. The building corners are also pilastered, with entablatures running along the side walls.[1]

The town purchased the land for the school (then about Шаблон:Convert) in 1875, and appropriated $1,000 to have the school built four years later. It was built by George Russel, a local carpenter, for $795. It was used as a school into the 1970s, and was being used by the town for storage when surveyed in 1981.[1] It has since been rehabilitated and adapted for use as a private preschool and kindergarten.
