Jim, I am fairly sure there is no longer a building. We haven't gone to the property to investigate, but I don't remember seeing anything. If you take the Macedonia-Silaom Rd (next to Ted Grant's old place) north, you would go about 3/4 mile to a curve (to the left). Just at that curve is where the property in question lies. My brother-in-law has a cabin just around the curve which butts up to the property line. Next time I am out that way I will look closer. Thanks for your help.

Ginger, I recall the land in question being most cleared except for tall grass and a fair (not a lot) number of cedar trees that do not appear to be all that old. This would indicate to me that perhaps the land 70 years or so ago was clear with a school with playground and a ball field. This works for me.
