Kersey Road, Peace Dale Grammar School 1923:
This handsome, single-story Colonial Revival brick school
house has a modified E-plan. The gable roofs are variegated
slate and the brickwork is laid up in Flemish bond. There are
three pedimented entrances from the forecourt: the main
entrance, with a segmental-head pedimented architrave, graces a
cross-gabled central pavilion; two lateral entrances have small,
cross-gabled porches with round-arch openings. Edith Hazard
Forbes donated the site, and members of the Hazard family helped
pay for the building. This was the last in a long series of
local schools built by or with the assistance of the Hazard
family, owners of the Peace Dale Woolen Mills until 1918. C
