1909 was for the second
Arcola school; according to a
Eugene Scheel, first public
school was a frame oneroomer built around 1880.
After closing in 1908 it was
used as the post office and
then became the BartonPearson Store. The structure
was torn down in the late
1970s. The second school,
also a one-roomer, with a
front porch and the date
"1910" inscribed over the
door, stood on a knoll about
1,000 feet west of the South
Fork of Broad Run, on the
south side of Evergreen Mills
Road. It served until 1939,
when it was torn down. The
third school brick one-story,
six-room Arcola School of
1939, now the community
center. It was the only school
in Loudoun to be built with
federal funds from the Public
Works Administration. It
closed in 1975.

The deed specified "the right
to use water from their land
for the School." Thus the new
school was named Brooklyn-lyn, or linn, being an old
English word for a small
rocky waterfall. Stone
masons--probably the Roller
brothers, Baker brothers, or
John Bramhall, had the
building ready for the spring
term of 1876.
