Berea District Seven School
A find example of the district school building common to Ohio int he early years of the twentieth century. This two-room, red-brick schoolhouse was completed in 1913.

This historic structure has been carefully restored and opened to public gatherings by the Berea Little Red Schoolhouse Foundation, inc. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
