Sydenstricker Schoolhouse

The Sydenstricker Schoolhouse is a one-room schoolhouse located in Springfield, Virginia. Built in 1928, it was the last one-room schoolhouse to be constructed in Fairfax County and was the last to be used by white children when it was closed in 1939. In the decades since, it has been used by the local community for various social and civic events.

The schoolhouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. In 2017, it was commemorated with a historic marker by the Fairfax County Historical Commission.
