About this property

The Dudley's Corner School House is a historic former school and civic building at the junction of Rosies Court (formerly Parkman Road) and Dudley Corner Roads in Skowhegan, Maine. With a possible construction date as early as 1804, was Skowhegan's first site for town meetings and elections, also seeing use as a school and church. It was used primarily as a school between 1849 and 1921, and has been used since then by community groups. The modest Greek Revival building is the least-altered of Skowhegan's surviving 19th-century district schools, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
