| Bostick School 604 Clayton Carriker Road, Ellerbe vicinity ca. 1880 |
| Today Bostick School is the county's oldest school building and also its only surviving one-room schoolhouse. It is the successor to a public school that operated in the vicinity during the antebellum period. The original school appears to have closed during the Civil War but was revived in the 1880s. Records indicate that the present building was in existence by 1894.
