Well - lets you protect the buildings in case of a fire. Place it near the existing buildings.
Cost: 4 units of logs, 40 units of stone
School House - place where children gain knowledge and become trained workers. You should build it later on because it makes the children become workers later. Without it, the children start working when they're 10, after you build the School House - when they're 20.

Town Hall - your residence and the centre of the town, where you can view various gameplay stats: amount of resources, population changes or villagers' happiness.
