The property on which the building sits was donated to the United Methodist Church in 1859 by John Howarth. The building doubled as a church until the church was built accross the road in 1898. The building continued as a school until 1955.
The site was listed on the MIchigan State Register of Historic Sites in 1983. The historic marker was erected in 1988.
