Duncannon School

The two-story brick schoolhouse was built in 1873 at the corner of High and Maple Streets at a cost of $9275. The cupola contained a two-hundred pound bell from VanDusen and Tift of Cincinnati. All grades used the four-room school until it closed in 1923. It was used by many organizations including: Aldon Industries, The Duncannon Record, The Knights of Pythias, Masons, Women's Bridge Club, and the upstairs social hall hosted many community events. In the 1950s it was again pressed into service as a school during the consolidation of schools and before the opening of Susquenita. A coal gas explosion and fire in 1954 severely damaged the structure. It was removed in 1965.
