Covington School
Inscription
Completed in 1938, this building replaced an earlier schoolhouse destroyed by fire in 1934. The new school housed kindergarten through fourth grade. Classes, first held during the 1938-39 academic year, continued until 1986 when L’Anse Area Schools annexed the Covington School District. The building was vacant for seven years before opening as a library and Head Start preschool.
The Ponnistus Athletic Club established a basement gym in 2003, and the UP Made Artist Market opened here in 2007.
