The Sydenstricker Schoolhouse was built in 1928. At one time it was the center of education in the community but over time population grew and the state sponsored school programs made schoolhouses like this obsolete. Despite its closing in 1939, the schoolhouse has remained in pristine condition and is a snapshot of what school was like in the early 20th century. Currently the school is open for limited activities.

Sydenstricker School, also known as Pohick School #8 and Upper Pohick Community League Hall (since 1948), is a historic one-room school located at Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia. It was built in 1928, and is a one-story, front-gabled structure, covered in weatherboard, painted red with white trim, and topped with a metal roof. Also on the property are a contributing combination storage shed and three-hole privy, the original privy pit, and a large metal flag pole, donated in 1928.
The school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. In 2017 it was commemorated with a historic marker erected on the premises by the Fairfax County Historical Commission.
