Redford Township District No. 5 School
Redford Township District No. 5 School, Early 20th century rural school in Redford Township, Michigan.
The red brick building features a symmetrical design with a central entrance, flanking windows, and a hipped roof topped by a belfry with arched openings.
Initially constructed between 1916 and 1921, this educational facility replaced an 1842 log structure and an 1870s wooden-frame school that previously occupied the site.
The school responded to increased suburbanization in Redford Township, with student enrollment growing from 47 to 76 between 1917 and 1920.
The building contains two classrooms on the main floor, a two-room basement, and received a seven-classroom extension during the late 1950s.
The structure represents one of the last remaining examples following the exact architectural specifications provided by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
