Mason Street Schoolhouse

Mason Street Schoolhouse, built in 1865, holds the distinction of being the first publicly owned school in San Diego County. Originally a one-room wood frame structure, it served all eight grades in a single classroom, featuring a potbellied iron stove for heating and minimal plumbing facilities.

The schoolhouse was relocated in 1873 and later reconstructed on its current site after being operated by the San Diego Historical Days Association until 2013. Today, it is part of the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, preserving its historical significance for visitors and the community.
