About the Building:
Schoolhouse Square is made up of 13 unique studio and 1-bedroom apartments, all housed in a former schoolhouse built around 1870. Originally the Saint Joseph Institute, operated by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, the building was lovingly restored by local humanitarian Tom Ellis. The structure retains many of its original architectural features, including massive windows, rich hardwood floors, and authentic 19th-century charm.
Each apartment is one-of-a-kind, blending historic character with thoughtful modern updates.
If you're looking for a home that offers walkability, charm, and history this is it.
All utilities included.
