"The Yountville Grammar School is a Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style building, situated on the corner of Yount Street and Finnell Road. The school was constructed in the early 1920s1 within what is likely the same parcel where the circa 1860 Yountville Grammar School once stood on parcels donated to the Town of Yountville by George Yount and Charles Hopper in 1855. 2 The age of the Yountville Grammar School building was determined during the investigation work for the structural strengthening project when historic wood floors were exposed, work that revealed hollow clay tile wall construction typical of the 1920s. 3 The single story building is approximately 4,500 square feet in area, with a partial basement of 230 square feet. The building is asymmetrical, L-shaped in plan, measuring approximately 112 feet in length and ranging from 26 to 54 feet in width, with a wood frame and clad in stucco. The moderatepitched, hipped roof has a slight eave overhang and extended rafter beams. Character defining elements include a Mission-style bell tower, a single prominent arched front entry doorway."
