1471 Airport Rd, Vandergrift, PA 15690

???? FOR SALE BY OWNER — A FORMER PARKS TOWNSHIP SCHOOLHOUSE ?? 1471 Airport Road, Vandergrift, PA 15690 ?? Asking Price: $120,000 This isn't your typical house. This unique property is a former local schoolhouse that was eventually converted into a private residence — giving the next owner an opportunity to own a genuine piece of local history. A LITTLE HISTORY Before today's Kiski Area School District existed, Parks Township maintained its own neighborhood schools. The township's educational history stretches back more than two centuries. Historical accounts identify a Parks Township schoolhouse operating as early as approximately 1812, and Parks Township was later recognized for having one of the earliest graded schools in this section of the region. By 1913, the township was operating seven different schools. The building at 1471 Airport Road is known as one of the former Parks Township schoolhouses. Property records associated with the home identify its construction year as approximately 1956. That places the building near the very end of the era when Parks Township maintained its own school system. Just two years later, in 1958, Parks Township joined the other participating communities in the consolidation that created the Kiski Area School District. Today, the old schoolhouse remains standing as a private residence. And you can still see its past. The long row of large windows, high ceilings and distinctive rectangular schoolhouse architecture give the building an appearance you simply don't find in modern residential construction. This property has a story. Generations ago, buildings like this were part of the center of rural community life. Today, it offers someone the opportunity to preserve that character while creating something completely their own. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS ?? Former Parks Township schoolhouse ??
