The West Schoolhouse is a historic school building at 61 Whig Street in Dennis, Massachusetts. Built c. 1770–75, this one-room schoolhouse is the oldest in Dennis. It served as a schoolhouse until 1865, and was moved to its present location in 1973.[2] It is the only one of Dennis's twelve district schools that is still standing.[3] It is now on the grounds of the Josiah Dennis House, a museum property operated by the Dennis Historical Society.[4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
