St. Augustine, Oldest wooden school house (Florida, USA)
The unused card’s slightly sloppy caption doesn’t say whether this building is “oldest” in Florida, or America, or the world, so of course we did the research for you. Wikipedia gives us this: “The Oldest Wooden School House is a wooden structure located at 14 St. George Street … It is touted as being the oldest wooden school building in the United States. The exact date of construction is unknown, but it first appears on tax records in 1716. There are no extant wooden buildings in St. Augustine built prior to 1702 when the British burned the city. The oldest schoolhouse still standing in the United States is the Voorlezer’s House built prior to 1696 and located in New York.” Grade: 1
