Marker Text: ​This schoolhouse was built by architect-contractor George Coleman of Stephenville in 1936 with the $4,700 insurance settlement received after an earlier school building burned. The simple one-story structure, built of brick veneer over frame construction, is topped by a hipped metal roof and features a shed-roof front porch entry. Heated with wood stoves and lighted with oil lamps, it served the community as a school until 1958, when the Duffau School was consolidated with schools in nearby Hico. The building was converted to a community center maintained by local citizens. (1998) 

Location: 15 miles south of Stephenville on US 281; 4 miles east on FM 1824 to Duffau Store; .5 miles south on FM 2481; at intersection of FM 2481 and FM 1824
