"The Port Costa School served the community of Port Costa from 1911 until it was closed in 1966 due to consolidation. The building's architecture is Classic Revival, with four columns supporting a gabled portico. The building was purchased from the John Swett Unified School District in 1988 by the Port Costa Conservation Society (PCCS), an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Since then, thousands of hours have been spent restoring and repairing the building." (visit link)
