Concord School House - a photo on Flickriver

In Rostraver Township:

Old "Concord School" was built in 1830 as a one room subscription school house. Subscription one room school houses were erected in the township to alleviate the problem of distance. The name subscription comes from the fact that each family subscribed a sum of money to the support of the school. In 1830, Concord School was the last subscription school to be built in the township.

As was the tradition for subscription schools, the building materials were gathered locally, stone from the fields and the wood from the nearby forests. Glass for the original windows came over the mountains by pack horses or wagon train. Plaster was made from lime (burned locally), sand from the nearby creek bed, and hair from a tannery on nearby Cedar Creek. Iron, for the few nails, came from the Alliance Furnace on Jacobs Creek.
