Old Euclid District 4 Schoolhouse

Richmond Rd.

Lyndhurst, OH

The Old Euclid District 4 Schoolhouse is located on the western side of Richmond Road (State Route 175) at the Oakmont Drive intersection in Lyndhurst, Ohio, United States. Built in 1920, it is listed with the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1980.  There’s a lot of history in the Little Red School House, a well-kept secret 100 yards south of the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education building, at Mayfield and Richmond roads in Lyndhurst. The original Little Red School House was on the southwest corner of Mayfield and Richmond, where the SE-L Board of Education building now sits. It closed in 1917 and reopened as Euclidville Village School. Euclidville became Lyndhurst in 1920.  Adjacent land was purchased in 1921 and the LRSH was moved 100 yards south. Lyndhurst Village School was built in its place.  When the SE-L school district was created in 1924, the LRSH closed. The building was restored in 1976 by the SE-L Bicentennial Committee.

     The one-room schoolhouse was the original building of what is now the SE-L school district — back when it was known as the Euclid Township school district.  An American flag on the classroom wall has only 36 stars. That was the number of states in the nation in 1866, the year the Little Red School House opened.  Visitors can also find an abacus, which students used instead of calculators; slates with chalk, instead of notebooks or computers; an old-fashioned heater and a wood-burning stove; a bucket with a dipper; and a feathered pen. The property, owned by the district, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

     When the third-grade classes on field trips to the LRSH walk into the classroom, the date of Nov. 1, 1866, is written on the blackboard. It’s an experience the students won’t soon forget, since it’s like stepping into a time machine.  They’re told it’s the first day of school by a teacher wearing an old-fashioned hat and smock apron.  Volunteers not only teach the children such subjects as math, reading, geography and social studies, but they also drill them on how students were expected to behave in the 19th century.  Students are also told the proper way to answer a question from the teacher, in a complete sentence.

     The lessons tie in with a unit on history and social studies that the classes work on both before and after their visit to the LRSH.  After about 90 minutes, the third-graders visit the South Euclid-Lyndhurst branch library and the South Euclid Historical Society, where more volunteers work with them.  Tthe Lyndhurst Garden Club helps in keeping the building maintained and planting a garden outside.  The school district, which put a new roof on the building recently, and the garden club have shared the responsibility of its upkeep and scheduling of events.  Although the building is used by some community groups, it is not available for regular public rentals.
