Notes
  • Significance: The Barber Schoolhouse, located within the Clinton Reservoir Recreation Development of Douglas County, was constructed in 1871-72 by Solomon B. Geary, builder, at a cost of $600. The walls are constructed of roughly dressed yellow/brown limestone, while the cornerstones and sills are of a light grey limestone. The schoolhouse, named for Thomas Barber, one of the first anti-slavery martyrs in Kansas, is an excellent example of the one room schoolhouse tradition. The structure is further representative of the stone vernacular architecture popular in Kansas during its early history. The school remained in operation until 1946 and there is a record of 21 students attending school there in 1898. During its last year of operation it was attended by only 2 students.
