Own a piece of history! The Salo Township schoolhouse from 1905 could be converted into a charming and unique home. The school closed in 1945 and the building was used for township offices. This idyllic location offers a quiet, country atmosphere yet you are just a few minutes from town. This historic building features original chalk boards, hard wood floors, beautiful wainscoting, bead board cabinets in entry way (used to store school books back in the day), coat hooks in front room, full basement. All windows have screens. Newer roof over back entry way. 10' oak trestle table, piano, and unattached blackboard included as they were used when the building was still a school. There is an older oil furnace that is currently inoperable. No well or septic on property.
