Schoolhouse to be Auctioned

The Tiverton building is 105-years-old.

Tiverton officials are selling a town schoolhouse, which was built in 1909, to avoid the cost of keeping it or tearing it down.

NECN reported that the building costs the town roughly $8,000 a year for utilities and other expenses. It is used by the harbor master, volunteer boards and commissions for meeting space.

A public auction is set for the next few weeks on the lawn of the Tiverton Community Center.
