The North Weare Schoolhouse was built in 1856 to serve the townâs 16th school district. It is architecturally the most unusual of the town's 19th-century district schools, and is the only one to be built in brick. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The building is a 1½-story brick structure with a gabled roof topped by a square belfry with round-arch louvered openings. The front facade is three bays wide, with entrances recessed in a round-arch opening framed by cast-iron columns. In the gable above there are two sash windows topped by blind rounded fans. The bays on the building sides, and its corners, are articulated by brick pilasters. The building is ideally sited in a village of historic homes, barns and church, with nearby conservation land and convenience to Concord. The main room measures 30'x40' with an attached 16'x49' wood construction dating from the 1960s. Inside, the building retains much of its original detailing. A curved wooden staircase with rounded handrail leads to the upper level. The main level features board tongue-and-groove siding below a chalk railing. The pressed tin ceiling, added in the late 19th or early 20th century, displays a decorative cornice and a field comprised of square and rectangular panels decorated by urns and geometric patterns with anthemion at the corners. The building's infrastructure has been restored with new wiring, plumbing, alarm system and two new furnaces ready for installation.
