Cahill School, Educational heritage site in Edina, United States.
The wooden frame schoolhouse stands with separate entrances for boys and girls, featuring a gable roof and horizontal lap siding on limestone foundations.
Built in 1864 after Hugh Darcy provided two acres of land for five dollars, this structure served Irish immigrants fleeing the potato famine.
The building functioned as both an educational center and a social gathering place, hosting church services, meetings, and community events until 1958.
The Edina Historical Society manages school visits from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. during academic terms, with reservations starting each August.
Students from grade one through eight studied together in this single room, maintaining an average attendance of thirty pupils throughout its operational years.
