8 Kersey Road, former Peace Dale Grammar School 1902:<br />

Attributed to architect Frank Angell, this 2-story, shingled<br />

schoolhouse displays his characteristic design sophistication as<br />

well as cognate details like the high hip roof with "kicked-out"<br />

eaves and the suppression of any elaboration of window openings.<br />

Unassuming yet somehow imposing, a cross-gable on the building’s<br />

roof carries a louvered belfry. There is a very simple hiproofed<br />

entrance porch with shingled piers. On each side<br />

elevation the banks of classroom windows are articulated by<br />

curious pilasters flanking the central window. Despite the fact<br />

that this building is out of Town ownership and now is used<br />

largely for storage, it remains handsome and well preserved, a<br />

fine and now rare example of a once common building type. C<br />
