This 2 story, four room building was the third schoolhouse built in Sayville.  It was built in 1859 to replace a smaller one on the site (where the Sayville firehouse is today).  Homer Candee was the principal.  When a new, much larger school building was opened on Greene Avenue ("Old 88"), this was converted into a private home.  The building was demolished to make way for the new firehouse in 1937.
