It appears based on how the children were dressed to have been to have been a farming and logging area. One boy wears a white suit jacket and tie with long black stockings.

The portrait was taken in 1928. A new school was built in 1938. The school was closed as part of a consolidation effort (1998). It is now a Christian accademy.
