Schools - Franklin School

Buildings, Public Buildings, Education, Seasons, Winter Many former residents of the "Hill" were interested in the sale of the Franklin School recently. Arne Koskela of Calumet purchased the structure, unused for many years, from the Primary district school board of Franklin Township District No. 5. For the time he will use it for storage purposes. The building is in good condition. There is not a crack in the broad brick walls, the roof is in good repair and the interior is in admirable shape despite the many years it has been unused.
