Thank you very much. It was not what I was expecting at all. Zöllner owned a hotel in Tavistock for about 10 years, put a small drug store into a portion of it about 1870, then built a new drug store and that became his sole business in 1876. This info about him being the architect of the school house is very unusual to say the least as they must have gone out to tender. Would like to clarify Mr Hildebrand as far as being a "contructor". Did you mean to type contractor or constructor. By the way, this occurred in 1872.
