Education 1301 students travel back through time to the late 1800s as they tour the Renner Schoolhouse in the Old City Park in Dallas, Texas. Built in 1888, the schoolhouse structure served the community of Renner, Texas (now part of North Dallas) as a school until 1919. The exterior displays elements of Greek Revival architecture typical of schools, meeting houses, and Masonic Lodges constructed across the South in the 19th century. Inside are a foyer, a large restored schoolroom downstairs, and one large schoolroom upstairs. The students also tour the Miller Log House which is a square-notched log structure built in 1847 in South Oak Cliff by William Brown Miller and his slaves. It reflects the need for temporary shelter on the Texas frontier. Constructed of oak and cedar, with local limestone for the chimney, this building served as the Miller's residence for fifteen years and as one of the earliest schools in Dallas County.
