Image: Old wooden school house (notice the claim on the sign).
Comments: This school house was built before 1763 at the very end of the first Spanish period and just before the beginning of the British period (1763-1783). It is located at 14 St. George Street, and it is the oldest wooden school structure extant in the United States. In the inner courtyard to the right of the building is a garden (patio) honoring four outstanding Latin American educators including the Cuban José Martí. In the inner patio there are monuments to four other Latin Americans who were prominent in promoting education in Latin America: Ramón Castilla (1797-1867), a liberator of the slaves in Perú who promoted the ideal of Pan Americanism; Dr. José María Vargas (1786-1876), president of Venezuela, an educator and social leader; José Trinidad Reyes (1796-1855), a Honduran teacher, humanist, and poet, and he was the founder of the Universidad de Honduras; and Octavio Méndez Pereira (1887-1955), prominent Panamanian educator. All monuments were presented to the private owners of the Oldest School House by their respective governments through the auspices of an American diplomat who had high level contacts in each country, and who was dedicated to strong relations between the United States and Latin America.
