The '''West Schoolhouse''' is a historic school building at 141 Shawsheen Avenue in [[Wilmington, Massachusetts]]. It is the best-preserved of Wilmington's remaining one-room schoolhouses. This single story wood frame building was probably (based on stylistic analysis) built in the 1860s or 1870s, although its resemblance in form to the c. 1840s Old Centre Schoolhouse suggests a possible earlier construction date and subsequent remodeling. It has simple Greek Revival styling with rope molding on the corner boards, and transom windows over the pair of entry doors.<ref name=MACRIS>{{cite web|url=http://mhc-macris.net/Details.aspx?MhcId=WMG.30|title=MACRIS inventory record for West Schoolhouse|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|accessdate=2014-02-24}}</ref>
