Located on the north side of town, in what is now the Phippsburg Park, the school was a large white sided building with mainly a gabled roof and a bell tower. There is also a shed roof added on to a hipped roof with a dormer. The first story held the First through fourth grade while the second story held 5th through 8th. The first story also held a large room in which all the town meetings took place. The windows were 3'x 8' single hung. They were mostly on the north side of the building. The building was supplied with water from pumps outside of the door, which faced the east. The foundation was made of cement. They even were supplied with 2 four-seated outhouses. One was for girls and one for the boys. They had a stove and they used a coal furnace for heating.
The new park building is made up of two bathrooms with a shaded area for picnic tables. It faces in the same direction as the old school building and is even placed in about the same spot. All the playground equipment is set northeast of the building.
Built in about 1925, the school provided education for the local farm kids. The same swing set and slide from the school are still there. Big events attended by a majority of the townsfolk were the holiday programs put on by the school. There was a program for each holiday, and students and teachers would dress up in costumes to entertain the community. Emma Wilcoxsin was a teacher, and Mrs. Shaw was the 1st and 2nd grade teacher. The school stopped operating when they consolidated in 1961. Before the building burned down in 1972, it was used as the community center.
This information was gathered with the help of the Historical Society of Oak Creek and Phippsburg (HSOCP). Dutch and Neva Ebaugh, Lila Rider, Markie Williams, and Mike Yurich were invaluable resources for this project. The description was written by Genessa and Kimberly of Soroco High School, May 2006
