San Francisco Township District No. 22 School/Town Hall Stabilization and Repair
To hire qualified professionals to stabilize and repair the District No. 22 School, listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
This 1917 one-room schoolhouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been repaired for use as the Township's precinct and public meeting place. Repairs include infilling the basement, stabilizing corners, fixing foundation walls, installing drain tile, repointing limestone bricks, repairing chimney base and cracking, and adding new downspouts and windows. Community members also added an ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp as a grant match. This landmark reflects the Township's heritage and the value placed on education by early Swedish settlers. It served as a school until educational consolidation and now continues as a voting and meeting location.
