New Home School Building

The New Home School Building is a historic school building in rural Jackson County, Arkansas. Located on the north side of County Road 69, northwest of Swifton, it is a small single-story vernacular wood-frame building, with a gable roof and a Craftsman-style front porch on its southern facade. The school was built c. 1915 as one of six rural single-room schoolhouses in the area surrounding Swifton, and is the best-preserved survivor of the group.[2]
