The old building was in continuous use for 80 years. In 1908, the roof blew off and had to be replaced with a new one. The new one-classroom school is of rug brick and has an aluminum roof and large windows all along the side facing the road. The first sod was turned on Thanksgiving Day and the new school, built by Contractor Wilfrid Halbert of Thornton, was moved into at the beginning of February. D.A. Lapp, public school inspector for South Simcoe, officially opened the building."
