The Hood Octagonal School is a historic octagonal schoolhouse located in Newtown Square, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1841, and is a small, fieldstone, one-story, eight sided building with a wood shingled pyramidal roof. The school was abandoned about 1865, then restored in 1964.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] The Newtown Square Historical Society says it was built by James Dunwoody, father of William Hood Dunwoody, to replace an earlier log school built by James' father.[3]
