Mosquito School House (Bristol's Hope)

---

This structure, which was built sometime between 1818 and 1828, is now owned by the Historical Society of Bristol's Hope and Harbour Grace. This school was originally constructed by the Rev. Kingwell when there were about 360 people living in Bristol's Hope. In the latter half of the 1800's ( 1850 - 70) the school house was moved from its original location to a position further down the valley, where it is located today. As yet there are no specific plans for the building but it has been suggested that it be used as a social hall for ladies teas, etc. The school house was lately used as a community chapel, which accounts for the communion rail and pews.
