1033 Hope Road, Tinton Falls, NJ
Old Wayside School
The first Wayside School was located on the Tinton Falls side of Hope Road. This building was used as a school until 1911 when the pupils were sent to the Oakhurst School. The only high school classes were offered in Long Branch after 1876. Students traveled there by stagecoach.
The great problem Wayside had was that the east side of its main street was in Ocean, while the west side of the street was in the town that would eventually be called Tinton Falls. The building is a private home today.
