This is a photo of Stony Brook school. It was built in the bend of the canyon in 1872.  The Stony Brook school district was located on south Palomares Road, from the top of the divide, down into Sunol Valley.
The school was so small, they moved it closer to the students attending as necessary. The school closed in 1947 and is now a private home.
