"The Old School House"

The Old School House (Island View School) – is the artist rendition of a restored Island View School that’s still standing in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains except now it is so dilapidated that a big tree growing out of it. It is a representative of the schools that were built in the late 1800’s, in fact this school was establishedin 1907. The one-room schoolhouse served a generation of youngsters between 1918 and 1949. It was built to replace another building destroyed in a 1917 hurricane.

It had no indoor water supply or plumbing. One teacher faced 35 to 40 children of all ages; the older children helped the younger ones with lessons. Island View School closed in 1949, but it’s still a landmark on Boyds Creek Highway. The island in the school’s name was Buckingham Island across the road, scarcely an island since Douglas Dam steadied the flow of the French Broad River. Currently this print is being used as a fundraiser for the new Sevier County Restoration Project especially for this old school house.
