Better known as the Old Gahanna Schoolhouse, this building was build in 1889, and served as a school for 55 years, then as a nursing home for 20 years and office space from 1978. It seem to be vacant once again. A new stone commemorates its 100th yr.

At the time of this visit the two sets of cornerstones had been set outside for display, perhaps with plans to reinstall them with further reconstruction. The original set is on the bottom, with the set from the rededication of the building on its hundredth anniversary on the bottom, giving a time line of the building's history. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
