After Huntington merged with the Black River school system, it served as an elementary school before closing. The form lists thematic categories D, G, N and M but gives no further reasoning.","narrative":"Built in 1911 at the southeast corner of Routes 58 and 162 in Huntington Township, this two-story brick school replaced the scattered one-room schools that had served the township. It has a T-shaped plan, a sandstone foundation, a hip roof of composition material, and stone and wood trim. Stone corner quoins, overhanging wood eaves, slightly arched window openings and a small stone datestone mark the exterior. A small one-story addition was later made at the southwest corner. When Huntington merged with the Black River school system, the building became an elementary school, and it was eventually closed and abandoned by the district. At the time of the survey, a community-sponsored renovation program was converting it into a community center, owned by the township trustees. It faces a broad lawn that was once the public square, with a playground to the south. The nominated property covers the school grounds, under five acres. The building was listed as part of a group of historic resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road.","period_of_significance":"1911","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Neo Classical","criteria":[],"status_note":"Abandoned by the local school district; undergoing a community-sponsored renovation for use as a community center.
