The old Murray Schoolhouse built by Irish settlers in Dublin, California in 1856, is now located within the confines of the Dublin Heritage Center Museum.
The old schoolhouse began in its initial location with 50 students.
The school was moved shortly after being built in 1856 due to concerns about flooding; a team of oxen and horses “expedited” the move. The school was ultimately moved once more in the 1970′s due to city growth and freeway expansion, to its current location.

Cool building! That’s all I have to say
Yeah, it is. Wish they hadn’t prettied it up so much…left a bit of peeling paint on it.
good to have movable houses, thanks to the oxen & horses!
I have to wonder how the animals did after the move!
I agree with Louise. Places like the one above is always high on my list when I am visiting different areas.
I just nominated you for the Versatile Bloggers Award. Check out my post when you get a chance.
Thanks,
Thank you! I’ll have to review what my follow up needs to be. Appreciate your thinking of me.
Very cool! I love a little history lesson!
Cheers,
