Weyers Cave School, also known as Weyer's Cave Elementary School, is a historic public school building located at Weyers Cave, Augusta County, Virginia. It was built in 1916-1917, and enlarged in 1923-1924. The original section consists of the northern entrance and hall with four-bay classroom blocks to each side. It exhibits a central-passage, double-pile plan. The addition is a four-room and passage block to the south. The Colonial Revival style is reflected in a one-story, one-bay wooden portico with Doric order columns and square balustrade.[3]
