That’s actually the old school house at White. It was never a full time church. It is the second building that was built on that site. An earlier school house was closer to the road. My grandmother Lizzie James, attended school in the first school building from 1908-1916. Her husband, my grandfather Harold Devlin was in charge of schools in Darling Twp during the 1940s and 1950s until he died in 1958. It was also used for church services during summers when student ministers would board at my grandmother’s farm and hold services at White, Tatlock, and Flower Station. After the school was decommissioned it became a community hall. The community hall sign on it today was installed by my father and me in the early 1980s. read-S.S. #5 White School White Community Hall
