Summary

Description
English: One Room Schoolhouse located at the intersection of County Roads 100 East and 700 North about a mile southeast of Deerfield in Randolph County Indiana. This school was built in 1891 and served as a school until it was closed in 1911 with the consolidation of one room schools into high schools that were made for grades of 1st to 12th, which was led by Lee Driver. In 1913 the school was sold to the farmer adjoining to the property, where it was turned into a Grainery. Since then it has changed hands to two different families. In 2014 A Non-Profit Organization was formed as The Friends of Ward Twsp District No. 5 Schoolhouse of Randolph County Indiana in which soon after the Original Plot of land was donated by the Thomas Sommer Family. This building was add to the United States National Register of Historic Buildings on Jun 12, 2017. As of Sept 2018 the Schoolhouse has had the roof and the Footer-Foundation replaced, point and tucked the exterior brick along with New Windows and Entrance-way that was duplicated piece by piece as the original were built in 1891. Our next step of Restoration would be the interior of the school in which it will be started in Dec 2018. The use for this One-Room Schoolhouse once restoration is completed would be an educational center for local Elementary School Students to have Historic Fieldtrips and live a school day in a One Room School House like it was in 1891
