The building that was erected on this lot was styled the Red School House from the color it bore. Denison says it had excellent proportions for its day. Here people gathered for worship. Here the eccentric Lorenzo Dow, on his travels, often preached with great unction. Here were held the principal meetings in the remarkable revivals of 1812. Some of the teachers who occupied the Red School House were: Jedediah W. Knight, (near 1800); Evan M. Johnson, (1808); Phelps, (1810);Thompson, (1811); Eleazor Tracey, (1812); John G.C. Brainard, the poet, (1815); Tideman H. Gorton, (1816-1818); Ariel Vanhorn, (1819-1822); Samuel Helme, (1823-1824); Samuel Hazard, (1824-1828); John S. Terry, Ethan Foster. These were some of the teachers who left their impress upon the rising generation of that day. This school house, after serving well its purpose, was deeded to Christ Church, July 21, 1835, for two hundred and thirty five dollars.
