Villa Nova

One-Room School 1871-1954. The school was located at the intersection of Routes l0 and 926 in the triangle shaped piece of ground formed by the two routes. The basic description of Villa Nova was much the same as the other brick buildings with a partial porch in the front with steps up the center.
