Interesting facts:

As a result of a community request for a larger, more modern school, a new stone-faced building was constructed a short distance north of the existing structure.  It was opened in the fall of 1950, and continued to serve the children of the area until the decision was made to close all one room schools and to bus students to larger multi-roomed facilities.  The building was sold in 1966 to the University of Toronto. Information source: Nila Reynolds, In Quest of Yesterday, E.
