This two-room, red-brick schoolhouse, a fine example of the district school building common to Ohio in the early years of the twentieth century, was completed in 1913. Accommodating elementary school children in east Berea and adjacent areas of Middleburg Township, the Berea "Little Red Schoolhouse" replaced an original wood-frame, one-room school built in the late nineteenth century on the same site. From 1935 to 1980, the building was used by the Berea Fine Arts Club, and subsequently by the Berea Jaycees for meetings and community projects. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
