Tingley No. 5

White schoolhouse in use as a shed

The Tingley No. 5 school (Center school) was built before the town of Tingley was incorporated. It was replaced as Tingley Independent School District by 1882 and several buildings were built in place of it while the original building was used as a shed. The newest building, built in 1918, was demolished circa 1980.
