Indrio Road Schoolhouse–Information Sign Concept
Fort Pierce Farms Schoolhouse -8850 lndrio Road
This circa-1915 Frame Vernacular building is located on the northeast comer
of Emerson Avenue and lndrio Road. This rectangular, one-story building has
a wood frame structural system that rests on a concrete block pier
foundation. The hipped roof is covered in tin shingles and the exterior is clad
in drop siding. Fenestration is obscured by wood shutters; however fixed
wood six-light transoms are evident above the shutters. Exterior
ornamentation includes cornerboards, rafter tails, knee braces, vents,
shutters and wood window surrounds. A wrap-around wooden deck addition
is present on the west, north, and east facades. Secondary structures include
a two-story, pyramidal-roofed tower on the north
end and a small wood cupola on the ridge of the main roof.
Children living in rural areas of the county attended this school from about
1915 to the 1940s. It is now owned by the county and used as a recreation
center. The building was built circa-1915 in the Frame Vernacular style;
however, it exhibits ornamentation such as decorative rafter ends, a cupola
on the roof, and a two-story tower at one end.
The school was moved a few hundred feet to the northeast from its original
location, which was closer to lndrio Road.
