Local School house history

	South Salem Jarvis Stone School Built 1857, the school was in continuous use until 1967. In 1978 the property was deeded to the SAHS. In 1993, restoration began with the result being our fine example of a one room school house. We hold most of the SAHS meetings there.
	The Jarvis Stone School was 150 years old in 2007.

The Frontroom Renovation Project

In the spring of 2008, the SAHS Membership agreed to use the SAHS's funds to complete a renovation of the Frontroom of the Jarvis-Stone School. This addition was addded to the school in 1941. It is a three phase project. In the fall of 2008, SAHS submitted two application for grants to fund this project. SAHS was awarded a grant of $2,174 for this project by the Community Foundation of Plymouth, which is administered through the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.

The first phase included the repair of the roof. In June, the SAHS Board hired Fairplay Home Maintenance, LLC (734-699-6976) to strip the old roof and re-shingle it. The job was started and completed on June 6, 2009.

More work sessions for SAHS members were held in July and August. The interior Stone wall was washed in the first work session. In the second, it was primed and painted.
