History
The Chassell High School, located at 42365 N. Hancock, was built in 1912,[2] and was designed by Charles and Frederick Maass.[3] The school is a two-story frame structure measuring 58 by 46 feet, with clapboard siding on the first floor and shingling on the second.[3] It has a hipped roof with a cupola.[3] The two classrooms on the second floor were separated by a rolling partition to allow the rooms to be combined into a larger hall.[3] The structure was used as a school until 1992.[3]
The nearby Southwell Elementary School at 42373 N. Hancock was built in 1917.[2] Due to its similarity in design to the high school, it was likely also designed by the Maass brothers; however, there is no documentation to support this.[3] The structure was named after Mr. and Mrs. Southwell, parents of Mrs. C.H. Worcester, who donated the land the school sits on.[2] It was used as a school until 1991.[4]
Chassell Heritage Center
Since 1993,[2] the elementary school building has been home to the Chassell Heritage Center, which includes the Chassell Township Museum and the Friends of Fashion Vintage Clothing Collection.[4][5]
