#20: The first schoolhouse in Holly was established about 1893. William Rust taught in a building on his land that had originally been his home. Pictured here is Holly's second school, built in 1905 on land donated by Robert Wyatt Sr. The school was located on the north side of holly, above Bourke's Point. The dock and part of the roof of the dance hall can be glimpsed behind and below the schoolhouse. This facility was closed in 1922 when the new school (currently the Holly Community Club) was built.
