Yan Guo

Zoin is a schoolhouse, which was built by a farming family of LAmaroux in 1869. The purpose of this schoolhouse was to add free education for the children in the farming community.
Now, the schoolhouse is find on 1091 Finch Ave. East. There are two edifices in Zion schoolhouse. cardinal is the primary building for students having classes, and the other grey building is a storage room for school equipment and firewood with wheelchair accessible washrooms. The primary building still remains 80% of the original architecture. For example, the belfry gong still exists in the schoolhouse. I did not see any electric lights turned on during my visit because of the four great(p) windows on the east and west walls of the building. It is interesting that I did not see any Canadian flags in the schoolhouse nevertheless a British flag on the wall.



Later on, I found out from the leaflet that it is because Canada was part of the British conglomerate when the school was built. During my visit, there were parents with their kids inside the classroom chatting with the school instructors man a lady was playing the piano. I loved the line of Zion schoolhouse because everywhere I saw contained a smell out of old-fashioned style back from the 1900s.
Before leaving, I took pictures of the schoolhouse. I would say Open Doors event brought me such a extraordinary experience today that improved my local historical knowledge.If you necessity to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
