Perrinsville School is a historical site in Wayne County in Westland, Michigan. Perrinsville is a one room schoolhouse that is located on Warren Road and Cowan Road. What is now the city of Westland used to be called the Village of Perrinsville in the 1830s. The main residential streets, Perrin and Liberty are still there today and Perrinsville was first settled by Thomas Dickerson in 1831. The Perrin brothers opened a sawmill in 1832 and several other business opened to help the village of Perrinsville reach peak activity in the 1850s. *The Perrinsville School Historical Marker says, “Perrinsville began with a sawmill established by Abraham and Isaac Perrin around 1832. During the next century three one-room schools served area children. The first, a wooden school, was erected in1833 on Marcus Swift farm. A second, larger one, was built on the William Osband farm in 1856 on land purchased from Isaac and Hannah Swift Perrin by Nankin District No. 2, was the first brick school in the township. Classes were held here until 1937 when Henry Ford constructed the nearby Nankin Mills schoolhouse as a replacement. Perrinsville School served as a church from 1948 to 1968. Having suffered many changes over the years, including the removal of the teacher’s platform, the cupola, and the wainscoting, the school has been restored to its 1890s appearance by the city of Westland, which acquired it in 1990.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Perrinsville School Marker )〕 *The Perrinsville one-room schoolroom was built in 1856 as a Greek Revival architecture style made with soft red, clay bricks that were made at a nearby brickyard. For eighty-one years, from 1856 to 1937, the school was used for educating the boys and girls of Nankin. In 1937, the school was closed and replaced by another one-room school called Nankin Mills, built by Henry Ford two and half miles away. ==Village of Perrinsville== *The Perrinsville historical marker says, “The village of Perrinsville was established as a small commercial center during the 1830s. Abraham and Isaac Perrin started a successful sawmill where Merriman Road now crosses the Middle Rouge. Several businesses sprang up and the community became known as Perrinville. About 1850 the village reached its peak of activity with flourishing enterprises on Ann Arbor Trail and Merriman Road. But a railroad built during this era bypassed Perrinville to the south; in 1871 this railroad was intersected at what is now Wayne City by a rail line running from the north. Perrinsville’s distance from these vital transportation lines led to its decline. It became an agricultural area. Absorbed by the city of Westland in 1966, one of Perrinsville’s residential streets, a school, and a store still exist.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Perrinsville Marker )〕 *The American Local History Network of Michigan has a website that has a list of Wayne county townships/communities that do not exist anymore, Perrinsville is listed on it and it says that the name was changed to Pikes Peak December 21, 1882, and that it was in operation until August 30, 1902. A book called ''Traveling Through Time: A Guide to Michigan's Historical Markers'', By Laura Rose Ashlee has information about different historical markers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perrinsville School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
