Timber School

Timber School is an educational building in Newbury Park with Mission Revival architecture arranged around a central corridor lined with classrooms. The structure displays characteristic design features of this style through its proportions and facade details.

The building was constructed in 1924, replacing the original school from 1889. It stands today as the oldest public structure in Conejo Valley, marking the area's early educational development.

The name reflects the lumber industry that shaped this area. Visitors today can sense the rural past through the building's design and how it sits in the landscape.

The building is easily visible from the street and can be observed from outside, allowing views of the architecture from different angles. A replica structure next to Stagecoach Inn Museum provides a reference point for understanding the original.

The original school bell from the 1800s was preserved and now resides at Cypress Elementary School. This artifact connects the early school's story to its modern home.
