Stayed for basketball game
Clean place. Good communication. Very unique with lots of character. Agree with other reviews of the “Halloween factor” but other than that, good place to sleep after a Purdue game.

Fall football stay
My educated guess is that this converted one-room schoolhouse was actually also a small church as the property butts up to a cemetery. The "house" is pretty unique, and we definitely enjoyed our stay. There were several dead flies near all of the windows, and we did see a few spiders and other crawly creatures inside during our stay. But aside from that, the place was neat and clean. The bathroom and kitchen were basically spotless, and the bathroom had plenty of extra toilet paper and shampoo and conditioner. The house is decorated tastefully and the television worked great. The loft was cool! The only reason I didn't choose 5 stars all around is because of what I'd call the Halloween factor.... Not only is an active railroad track only 10 yards behind the house, the aforementioned cemetery is a bit spooky, and the front door has three windows built in it which give an unwelcomed view of the correctional facility almost directly across the street! EEK! It wouldn't take much for a criminally-minded person to break the window in the door nearest the deadbolt, reach through and unlock the door, and come on in. Believe me, I slept with one eye open! I want to come back again with my husband and some friends and embrace the scare. But, I was a bit surprised by the "bonus" Halloween atmosphere on this visit! We attended a Purdue football game on the visit, and that was a ton of fall fun!

So cute
This schoolhouse is so cute and only a few miles from campus. It was well-equipped with bedding and soft towels. The kitchen was great, as was the outside fire pit. Plenty of parking. Now I-fi issues. The only issue we had was that there is a train track literally behind the house, so it was a little difficult to sleep with passing by. The owner was responsive. I would return in the future.

Great novelty stay for a Purdue campus visit
We enjoyed our stay at the Historic Industrial School House. The renovation design and decor used to modernize this historic building was very clever. Our teenagers enjoyed the loft bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped to cook in, and we especially enjoyed the selection of K-cups.

Historic Schoolhouse
The Historic Schoolhouse worked perfectly for my brother and I to stay and visit my family. It was very cool from a historic standpoint. it was very clean and comfortable. It was cheaper than a hotel and more convenient! It is located close to the road and a train tracks, but the bricks were a good noise insulator. We were very happy with the stay and will come back.
