Sodom School


	Sodom School Montandon, PA


	"The Sodom Schoolhouse, a single-story octagonal structure built from local limestone in 1836, is a notable example of 19th Century architecture. It was used as a school until 1915, and has since been restored." http://www.northumberlandco.org/tourism/


	SODOM. "Sodom consists of a small group of houses situated one mile east of Montandon where the Montandon and Lewisburg road is crossed by that leading from Northumberland to Milton. The first person to locate here was in all probability Lot Carson, from whom the place received its name; he kept a hotel at the crossroads for the accommodation of the stage coaches, and lost his life by falling into a well while under the influence of liquor. A quaint old school house of peculiar shape is situated in the vicinity; it was erected in 1814 as a place of worship." ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/northumberland/areahistory/bell0024.txt

	A Senior Technical English Class At Milton High School is researching the history for a book and website, and the vocational class will be restoring the school house, with help from a $25,000 grant from the PA Historical & Museum Commission.
