Port Stanley Schoolhouse
The Port Stanley School was in session from 1917 until
Lopez Island schools consolidated in 1941. It was then
used as a meeting place, hardware store, and hay storage
building until it was donated to the Lopez Island
Historical Society by Chris & Helena Jones. I was
hired in the fall of 2001 and spring of 2002 to complete
a full restoration of the
interior woodwork and exterior doors and windows. The
fully renovated Port Stanley School opened to the public
in the summer of 2003.
