Box Grove Community Centre

This former schoolhouse serving School Section No. 18 was built in 1877 in the classic one-room schoolhouse form. The round arch windows on the front add a touch of Romanesque revival and Italianate styles to an otherwise utilitarian structure. Now used as a community centre, the school was closed in the 1960s with the introduction of centralized schools and bussing.
