Notes
  • Significance: Begun in the 1860s this redwood structure was the first school built to accommodate the children of workers at the New Almaden Quicksilver Mine and was used as such until 1910. It was the largest of three schools built by the Mine Company and is the only one still standing. Enlarged several times, its final form contained decorative cornice brackets and window head moldings and was situated on a terraced and landscaped site, making it, with the possible exception of the churches formerly located there, the most architecturally sophisticated structure on the hill. Presently it is one of the only three structures remaining on the Mine Hill site which date to the nineteenth century,
