The small building next to the road is Sylvan School. From the genealogytrails.com website, written by Leslie Wilson on March 27, 1979:

Sylvan School was so named for the abundance of scattered woodlands in the area. The earliest log school house in Sylvan District was located at what is called Feine's corner. When the log school was damaged in a storm in 1859, Solomon Fisher and Hugh Bennehoff were instrumental in having the new stone school built in the present location on Sylvan Road. It was a typical rural school furnished with double desks, recitation bench, teacher's desk on a platform, and a coal burning stove. Because of fire about 1930, it was replaced by a building of wood construction. This building still remains. Many of the early residents of the district came from Pennsylvania. Among the family names are Bennehoff, Fisher, McCauley, Shippy, Kramer, Frankenberger, Windecker, Zimmerman, Wilson, Brobst, Riemer, Zee, Busjahn, Ziegler, Fiene, Passet, Wagner, Hugelshofer, and Rockey. Names of teachers are Hattie Emrich, Verna Hoover, Grace Bolender, Verna Schultz, Cheryl Slamp, Virgie Kramer, Irene McNamara, Dorothy Schauer, and Lila Tuell.
During the years box socials and plays were held as money making projects. One social affair which the community thoroughly enjoyed vor nearly ten years in the early 1900's was the annual homecoming held in Oscar Wagner's woods. A picnic dinner was followed by a ballgame, games, and contests with prizes for children, and pong and horse races. Refreshment stands provided ice cream, pop, and Cracker Jack. In the evening, entertainment by local and outside talent was provided on a stage built for the occasion. In later years Sylvan was consolidated with the Orangeville Unit. Then for several years pupils of the upper grades attended school at Orangeville and lower grades in Sylvan. In 1964 Sylvan was closed and all pupils were bussed to Orangeville. The building is now used as a residence.
