Description

The building to the left was built as the Secondary Department of Foxton District High School and opened in 1927. As well as classrooms it contained woodwork and cooking rooms. In 1952 the secondary department moved to new buildings in Lady's Mile and the building continued to be used for manual training for primary and decondary classes. The primary section of the school moved a class in and also established their library in one of the rooms. The building was later condemned and was demolished in 1973. Ownership of the site was returned to the Maori descendants of the original owners who had donated it for educational use.
