Education
Harrisville Grade School in Harrisville, West Virginia, was built in 1878 and enlarged in 1904, serving the community as a public school until 1965. Also known as Harrisville High School and Harrisville Public School, the two-story brick building stands on a cut stone foundation and combines Italianate and Greek Revival details. After its years as a school, it housed board of education offices before plans in the 1990s led to its conversion into a museum. Now operating as the General Thomas M. Harris School Museum within the Harrisville Historic District, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
