I consider the Little Red Schoolhouse a historic staple for the city of Willoughby. The building has been renovated beautifully (quite some time ago) and always looks nice. The surrounding flower gardens/landscaping are charming and well kept. Having enjoyed the schoolhouse's presence there my whole life, as many long-time Willoughby residents have, I have no doubt that it is a valuable and appreciated source of positive reflection, connectivity, and sense of community. These subtle-yet-quintessential elements of vitality offered by historic landmarks are often overlooked... There have been talks, lately, of plans to demolish it and other buildings on site. In my opinion, that would be a huge mistake. I believe that the value of the historical aesthetics and wholesome symbolism it provides are being underestimated by whomever is proposing its demolish. If there is a petition to sign in order to prevent its removal, I will sign it.
This place is great , loved going here with my kids
A glimpse into the past exists here at the little red schoolhouse historic site near #dtw. The surrounding area has many more old farm buildings part of an old estate from the really says of Willoughby.
