Located in rural San Gregorio, Seaside School is an excellent example of the typical one room school in use in small communities throughout California during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Class was last held at Seaside School in the early 1950s.
The present owners (the family has owned the adjoining property for over a century) are intent on preserving the historical character of Seaside School. It is not for sale or rent and it is frequentley used by the owners for family gatherings. At the present time repairs are being made on the building and it is getting a coat of paint. Locally milled redwood lumber is being used as much as possible for repairs. The goal is to maintain the building, not make it look like new.
In order to avoid loving Seaside School to death, the owners ask that the public admire the building from the county road. This site's intention is to provide you with a virtual visit. Please check back again--more information will be added.
