An auditorium annex was added about 1925, a second annex; an agricultural classroom building now referred to as "the cannery" was added to the property about 1930; and the Wayside School (c. 1879), a one-room schoolhouse that was moved to the property from the vicinity of nearby Sportsmen's Lake between about 1935 and 1945.[3]
