Harding Schoolhouse

Howick Township

Ontario, Canada

The school was built in 1875 as a board-and-batten structure with wood plank walls.  In 1929, it was raised, a first floor was added, and the wood siding  was bricked over.  Electricity was not available until 1948.  An average of forty students attended the school which went through grade 8.  It closed in 1963 and was sold with all its furnishings.  Later, it was purchased and restored by David Medeiros and Barb Anderson, owners of Tobermory Bicycle Rentals in Tobermory, Ontario, Canada.
