This school was in operation in the Baldwin area from around 1904 until 1946.

It was a two-story, two-room schoolhouse, and each room of the house had eight rows of eight desks each. There were blackboards at the front of each room along with a teacher's desk. At the right side of the first floor was a big stove (furnace). Coal had to be carried from outside to heat the school.
