Description:
"Davis school on the Peninsula." A small log cabin with a wooden shingle roof stands in an open area under a cloudy sky.
Original Description:
George Davis built it for a bunkhouse in 1932 but it was in use as a schoolhouse in 1933-34. A man named Hustead apparently purchased the land it set on from the Humbird Lumber Company. More recent owners were a Crandall, a Chilcote and Frank Hammons. The building was eventually moved to Crowell Loop and is still in use as a private dwelling, according to Jewel Hammons. School district was known as district 56; It couldn't have been in existence very long. October 31st 1989: interviewed Goldie Jackson after whom the school was named she says it was Jackson never Davis. Walt Daley had told me Davis this building was the first Jackson school confirmed by the other peninsula residents Davis did apparently never own it.
