The Octagonal School House

Dunwoody Village’s rich history includes an historic octagonal schoolhouse, located on our campus, called the Hood Octagonal School. Built in 1842 by William Hood Dunwoody’s great grandfather James Hood, the schoolhouse was used well into the 19th century. In 2006, it was awarded designation on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it serves local schoolchildren as a historic learning site.
