Lindencrest School

Darlington homestead -former location of Lindencrest School

Jennie Darlington used an upstairs room in her home to run a private school for children of local farm families. The school room was located upstairs on the right end of the building pictured here. The children would leave their coats in the room in the lower level and access the school room through a winder staircase.
