North Bloomfield School is a historic school located at North Bloomfield in Livingston County, New York. It is a two story, painted common brick structure set on a coursed rubble foundation and stone watertable. It was originally planned and constructed by the First Universalist Society of Lima between 1827 and 1829. The building was to be a "Meeting House" for services held by the newly formed church. Beginning in 1842 the building was rented for elementary grade classes, while continuing to be used for services at other times. In the mid-19th century, the second floor stage and Italianate cupola were added. Joint use of the building continued until 1872, when the church built a separate building. The school closed in 1951, and the building has since been used for storage.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.^[1]
