Sunday House Inn Website
Classes for the children of German immigrants in the Cherry Spring community were held in homes until 1885. At that time, a 31' x 23' schoolhouse was built using locally quarried limestone on land donated by H. Bratherich.

On dedication day, students marched in a parade from the home where classes had been held to the new building. Cherry Spring, District #16, added a large pavilion in 1936, despite the Great Depression. The stage area had moveable walls, which allowed it to be used as a second classroom. Grades one through five met in the "Little Room" on the stage, while grades six through nine met in the original rock building, or "Big Room."
