Mason Street Schoolhouse is a historical building in San Diego, California built in 1865. The Mason Street School District No. 1 is a California Historical Landmark No. 538, listed on September 14, 1955. The Mason Street School is the First Publicly owned School in San Diego. The school was used from 1865 to 1872. The Schoolhouse was moved once. For sometime in the 1940s to 1952 the Schoolhouse was a tamale restaurant, which operated out of the building until 1952. In 1952 San Diego County Historical Days Association acquired the Schoolhouse. The State of California acquired the Schoolhouse in 2013. The school building is now the Mason Street School Museum in Old Town San Diego at 3966 Mason Street. The school was restored in 1955.[1]
The Schoolhouse is 4-feet by 30-feet, 720 square feet with a 10-foot ceiling. The first teacher was Mary Chase Walker
(1828–1899) born in Massachusetts. Walker graduated in 1861 from State Normal School in Framingham, Massachusetts and had a job teaching in Massachusetts. At the end of the American Civil War in 1865 Walker came to San Francisco, not finding a job there she travelling to San Diego. She took the teaching job for $65 a month (about $1,224.00 a month in today's dollars). Walker had 35 students of ages 4 to 17 in the single One room schoolhouse. Walker had the job for 11 months, when Walker married the school superintendent Ephraim Morse.
