Description
This one room schoolhouse located in Santa Ysabel was built in 1888 and was a functioning school until 1954. In 1968 the owners of the land on which the school was located offered the school to the Julian Historical Society – if the Historical Society would move it. The Society decided that the schoolhouse as one of the oldest surviving structures in the area was historically and architecturally significant and took on the project. The schoolhouse currently resides in Julian as the County Library and Museum. This photo, showing the Witch Creek Schoolhouse in 1967, exhibits some damage to the building which had then been abandoned for 13 years.
