In April 2018 further information was crowd-sourced via the Granville-Tolland Community Forum (Facebook) and yielded the following:
1. The school was replaced by the new Village School on Main Road.
2. Grades 1 thru 6 were in this building. Grades 7 and 8 were in the old Gibbons Store, which burned in 1934.
