McLeod School


McLeod School was built in 1882 on N 27-14-1W and named after , councillor of Ward 6 and one of the earliest residents to the area. The school was built by James F. McCulloch, and early teachers were James McLeod, Violet Ballantyne, Miss Hornabrook, J.J. Campbell, A.M. Campbell, Alex Todd, E.R. Mills, Fred Baragar and Grace Patterson.
The school district was dissolved into the Brant Consolidated School November 8, 1913. That same year, the McLeod school joined Brant and Bruce Schools in consolidating with the Brant Consolidated School in Argyle Station
After the school was closed, Mr. Sheldrick made this building into a home. Thomas & Barbara Snell bought the former McLeod School in 1924 and had John Morrison renovate the school into a home. They lived there until 1954. The structure sat empty for a few years until it was moved by Alf Billingham to his farm one mile south and one mile west of the school's site.
