Double School House Number 6 is a historic school house located in Queenstown, in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States.

The double school house was built after a large fire in Queenstown. The property was purchased by school trustees James Masey and his wife. The building featured two separate entrances for boys and girls. In 1874, a larger schoolhouse was built on Del Rhodes Avenue to serve the community of 250 residents.[1] The school was moved to a new alignment and converted to a private residence in 1884.[2]
