The Dauphin Island School (also known as the Little Red Schoolhouse) is a historic former school building on Dauphin Island, Alabama. The school was built in 1931 to replace a one-room schoolhouse that was built in 1898 and burned in 1929. [2] Originally sited on the east end of the island, it was moved to the western side in 1956. The structure has a central hallway with two classrooms on either side (one of the classrooms was later repurposed into the principal's office and a conference room) and two restrooms at the rear. A 1991 addition included a library and cafeteria.
The school remained in use until 2016. It was relocated closer to its original site the next year, and today serves as a welcome center, museum, and library. [3] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. [1]
