Newton Robinson Public School between 1906-1912.
This school possibly began in the 1830s when it was Latimer's Corners, though the structure in the photograph was from 1875 on land purchased from James Downey. It joined with SS #12 of Tecumseth. There was only one teacher by 1920 because of low enrollment. The school was replaced in 1923, though by 1959 students were transferred to the nearby Fisher's Corners School. The Hon. Earl Rowe bought the school (two small buildings at this time) in 1960 and turned it into residence.
