  The Crain Hill School and Church, in Crain Hill, Tennessee, is a building dating from around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
  
  It is a one-room weatherboarded gable roofed vernacular building, upon a wooden pier foundation which is covered with pressed metal. Simple decoration includes gable returns and molding around the main entry.
  
  It was built to serve as both a school and place of worship for inhabitants of the Rocky River Valley. Its last use as a schoolhouse was in 1927 when a new larger school was built further up the Rocky River Road. It continued to serve as a church until the mid-1900s.
  
  It was a one-room schoolhouse.
