Description: St. Augustine, FLORIDA - Oldest School House - 1953: The Oldest Wooden School House is a wooden structure located at 14 St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida near the city gate. It is touted as being the oldest wooden school building in the United States. The exact date of construction is unknown, but it first appears on tax records in 1716. There are no extant wooden buildings in St. Augustine built prior to 1702 when the British burned the city. The oldest schoolhouse still standing in the United States is the Voorlezer's House built prior to 1696 and located in Historic Richmondtown in Staten Island, New York. The schoolmaster and family lived on the second floor above the classroom and the kitchen was located in a separate building to reduce heat and threat of fire. The building originally belonged to Juan Genoply. The classroom was one of the first in the US to be co-ed, educating both boys and girls since 1788. This Linen Era postcard, published by 1953, is in good condition. Genuine Curteich-Chicago "C.T. Art-Colortone" Chicago. No. 3C-H328. Duval News Co. Jacksonville, Florida. No. SA-81.
