This building was erected in 1874 as a one-room school house by the Society of Friends (Quaker). In the early 20th century it was rented by various organizations including the American Legion (1924-1929). One of the groups that rented it, eventually purchased it (Bristol Travel Club). They sold it to the Bristol Cultural and Historical Foundation in 1991, which uses it as their headquarters. At the time of this photograph, it was the office of The Gazette, a local newspaper.
