Neff’s one-room school in Red Lion: ‘It’s dilapidated now. But it’s going to be really great soon’
Linked in/Neat stuff: Mud sale defined/Test your Glen Rock smarts
Red Lion, Pa., students work on the old Neff School near the high school. That’s good practical education, for one thing. And this means the preservation of another one-room school. At one time, York County had about 300 of these schools, but some that weren’t converted into houses, businesses or museums are deteriorating. In recent years, we’ve seen rehab work around the county. The Foustown school in Manchester Township rehabbed into a livable residence. An old school near York Haven has been restored. The stone Hyson schoolhouse in southeastern York County is being excavated, bringing forth finds about early public education in Pennsylvania. Now this Red Lion school is being restored. ‘It’s dilapidated now,’ teacher John Royer said. ‘But it’s going to be really great soon.’ (See map showing relative location of Neff’s School below.)

This is Glen Rock from the air. This photo is part of a series of York Daily Record quizzes about York County towns. The first one focuses on Glen Rock. And that big white building? That was built as an AMP plant, replacing an earlier AMP factory on that site.

Years ago, artist Cliff Satterthwaite captured this ‘derelict hotel,’ which he surmised was no longer around York County. He thought the old apartment house or hotel photographed here was in Dallastown or Railroad borough. If anyone recognizes this place, please comment below.
