Also known as the Roosevelt School, the building still exists today as a museum. All but one of the students have been identified.
In the front row from left to right are: Afton Farrin, Miles Plummer, and Jr., Herbert Thompson.

The S Road School was constructed in 1860 for $600 and saw renovations in both 1901 and 1918.
The photographer who took this class picture worked out of Boothbay Harbor.
