The Dry Pond School, built in 1923, is a historic rural schoolhouse located in the unincorporated community of Orchard in Monroe County, West Virginia. This one-story, wood-clad building features modest Neoclassical influences, most notably a recessed front entrance, and is situated atop a hill with views of the surrounding farmland and forest. A small windbreak of trees and shrubs separates the schoolyard from the neighboring fields, and three noncontributing outbuildings remain on the property.[2]
The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.[1]
