The Manchester Schoolhouse, at 19750 California State Route 1 in Manchester, California, was built in 1907, the year after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
It is a two-story wood-frame building, about 64.5 by 32.5 feet (19.7 m × 9.9 m) in plan, with a hipped roof. It served as a school and also as a meeting hall for the city.[2]
It was deemed "significant as the only public building in Manchester surviving from the days when coastal logging was a prolific and flourishing industry. The school's design is notable as an outstanding example of North Coast school architecture and for its inclusion of a community/use/school use meeting room."[2]
