Richland School House : Located on what is now Woodland Parkway , the one-room schoolhouse was built in 1889 of redwood boards and square nails. A year later, a second classroom was added. One room housed grades one to four; the other, five through eight. The New England-style structure with its distinctive belfry was the first school in San Marcos to have a bell.
