Watson School

Built 1856

Watson School was built in 1856 and was used as a schoolhouse for over a century.

The Greek-Revival building is typical of early California one-room schoolhouses: bell tower, double doors, balloon framing finished with shiplap redwood siding. The interior floor slopes down to a teacher's platform in front of the original slate blackboard.

This spot also commemorates Running Fence by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
