Prospect School - Darlington Maryland - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

The house appears to be private and residential, but a nice view can be had from the historical marker at the road.

The Historical Marker Reads:

"A hexagonal fieldstone structure built ca. 1850 by local stone mason Joshua W. Stevens, the Prospect School served grades one through eight until 1930. Polygonal buildings - more typically octagons - were promoted in the mid 19th century for their economical construction, thermal efficiency, and natural light. The Prospect School is a rare example of the polygonal style adapted to school use in Maryland."
