Write a review Review

Conlin’s School was built around 1874, on the south side of Concession 5 (Conlin Road) and east of Simcoe Street. It was built in a style typical for one room schoolhouses. In 1948, there were 45 students enrolled at the school. A second Conlin Public school was opened in the 1950s, located on the west side of Simcoe Street, north of Conlin. In 1967, the publication East Whitby Mosaic claimed the original Conlin’s school was one of the very few one-roomed schools still in use. It is unknown at this time when it stopped operating as a school.

The building is still standing and is today a private residence. The facade has changed and has since been covered with stucco.
