Also known as the Jarvis School, this stone school was built in 1857 to replace an earlier log school across the street. It is the only surviving one-room stone schoolhouse in Washtenaw County. The building served the surrounding farm community as a public school for more than one hundred years until 1965, when it was annexed to the Plymouth-Canton Community School District. In 1978, it was given to the Salem Area Historical Society for restoration, and the society uses it for local historical archives and meetings. The structure is notable for the detail of its stonework and the lack of other decoration. The main stone structure has not been changed except for a rear entrance created by breaking through the wall below a window. The builder is unknown, probably local, and the stone was locally gathered. In the early years, there was a three- to four-month winter term with a male teacher and a five-month summer term with a female teacher. In 1865, Carrie S. Thayer contracted to teach 13 weeks for $28.00 per month, and George P. Voorhies for 16 weeks for $40.00 per month. School Board records of 1870 show that George McCormick was paid $41.25 for boarding the teacher.
