Welcome to A Walking Tour of Centerville. The town of Centerville
has a large collection of stone buildings and many of the hides are
in the heart of the architecural preservation district. The hides
take you to (and past!) notable structures and locations throughout
the district.
Located near the cornerstone of the Centerville's old school house.
You wouldn't know what it was at first glance, because it hasn't
been preserved. It's a school...it's a bank...no wait, it's a
sewing store!
Difficulty rating is due to the right next to a brick building
location. It's near the cornerstone, but you may want to use the
hint if there are many muggles nearby.
232 N. Main St.
The original schoolhouse on this site was built before 1813. In
1874, the present brick building was erected to replace the
original stone building. As with the other eight one-room
schoolhouses, No. 5 was closed down when the centralized school
system was instituted in 1924. The building has been used as a
restaurant and a bank.
In 1957, Schoolhouse No. 5 was renovated to accommodate the
community's first bank, the First National Bank of Miamisburg. In
1968, the bank was robbed three times by the same man. Click
