Macdonald Consolidated Plus ...

















We discovered, perhaps re-discovered, this picture yesterday.
I recognized Macdonald Consolidated School but not the other building.

Bruce MacKenzie has identified it as the Town Hall.

My brother adds: Acccording to a book by the Macdonald Museum, the building on the left was the old Middleton School. It served as the town hall until it was demolished in 1936.

Millard (Joey) added a bit more: That was the old school, town hall and court room. It's where hobos used to hang out . In the winter there was a stove in there and plenty of wood, with a buck saw. One of the visitors just took the 4 ft. long log and shoved it in as it burned off.

Thanks, All.
