While some schools are sitting vacant this year because of the virus, this school was closed in 1948 although continued to serve a purpose as a community club for a while, but now the historic structure has been torn down. The King School became a two room schoolhouse when the nearby Harvey School was moved by horses and sleigh to the same location in 1916 and were connected with the bell tower in the center. After the school closed, it lived on as the Cloverland Community Club and was the site of parties, dances, and other social activities. But when the doings at the club dwindled, soon the building deteriorated and vandals caused further damaged. The cost to restore the historic building was too great and it was torn down a few weeks ago, but the antique merry-go-round still remains.
