  Location of Double School House Number 6 in Maryland | |
The double school house was built after a large fire in Queenstown. The property was purchased by school trustees James Masey and his wife, in 1834. As was common at the time, the building featured two separate entrances for boys and girls. In 1874, a larger school house was built on Del Rhodes Avenue, to serve the community of 250 residents.[1] The school was moved to a new alignment and converted to a private residence in 1884.[2]
