Originally built and situated a few miles south of Jennings, Maryland in 1913, the structure served as a school until 1952. After that date it served various church related functions.

In 1994, the current owners, Robert and Shirley Hay, donated it to the Spruce Forest Artisan Village. Through the generous help of some eight trades, contractors and suppliers, the structure was relocated and restored here in November, 1994.

Erected by Spruce Forest Artisan Village.
