context_section_description: The Redford Township District No. 5 School is a one-story red brick school building with a hipped roof and a concrete foundation with raised basement. The front facade is symmetrical, with a projecting vestibule sheltering the central main entrance, flanked by three six-over-one double-hung windows on each side.  The side facades originally had single windows; however, these have been boarded over, as have the basement windows.  The roof is crowned with a belfry with arched openings.  Exterior decoration is minimal, with a single brick beltcourse separating the basement and main floor, and vertical piers on the front and sides.
  The interior of the school consists of two classrooms on the main floor and a two-room basement.
