Election Houses
When the Stony Lick School burned down, school students were taught at the election house just outside of Chaneysville for the few remaining days of school that term. Today the people on the Chaneysville side of the mountain vote at the Chaneysville-Cove Elementary School.

Martin Hill separates the polling places of Southampton 1 and Southampton 3, (I haven't found out what happened to #2). Although this election house is no longer in use, it still stands at the foot of Martin Hill in Beans Cove. Those citizens now use the Catholic Church to cast their vote.
