- Source: Teacherage
A teacherage is a house for one or more schoolteachers, like a parsonage is a house for a parson or minister of a Protestant church. Teacherages are used to provide accommodation for teachers in remote native communities in Canada since teachers are often not long-term residents of the community and therefore do not have their own housing.
Notable examples include:
Markham School and Teacherage, Oilton, Oklahoma, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)
San Juan Teacherage, in Grant County, New Mexico, NRHP-listed
