Covington School

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.
