Although Leah Taylor and her family were not around the Potter School building when classes were being held there, she has been able to gather a collection of artifacts from that earlier time. Their authenticity, she says, is well-established.

The classroom scenes in The Birds make those rooms easy to recognize, even now. But Taylor says the large upstairs room—which once served as Bodega’s town meeting hall—also played a lesser known role in the film.

Leah Taylor will be leading three tours of the historic school house tomorrow, as a fund-raiser for the Sebastopol Community Center. Find details and make reservations here. Or call (707) 823-1511.
