Windsor’s 5th District schoolhouse, built in 1827 on Palisado Avenue (and replacing an earlier school, built in 1707 on Palisado Green) burned in 1870. The following year, the new Italianate-style Bell School, with its distinctive bell tower, was constructed to replace it. Civil War physician and neighbor, Gen. William Pierson, donated a bell to the school. The building is now a private residence.
