Description of Property 2503 Concession Road 8, known as Haydon Community Hall, is located on the south side of Concession Road 8, east of Charlesville Lane in the hamlet of Haydon in the former Township of Darlington. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The lands on which the Haydon schoolhouse was built were originally part of the Weldon property, according to the Durham County Map (1861). Built in 1876 as the settlement was expanding, the Haydon schoolhouse is fine representation of the simple brick building style used for one -room schoolhouses throughout the Township of Darlington in the 19th century. The building is particularly significant because it is the oldest rural schoolhouse in Darlington Township still remaining, in addition to the fact that it has been relatively unaltered. The one -storey, one -room, rectangular and symmetrical red brick building has a gable roof, and six over six windows with brick lintel detailing, and a granite fieldstone foundation. The interior of the schoolhouse still features the original slate chalkboard. Although the structure appears much as it was when it was constructed, the entrance porch on the west side was enlarged, and its west wall clad in metal siding. The original belfry has been removed. The schoolhouse was likely based on a design first published in the Canada Farmer newspaper in the 1860s, which set a pattern for schoolhouses built in rural communities as they were needed. The hamlet of Haydon was originally known as the village of Charlesville, and Concession Rd. 8 was once known as Charles Street. The settlement of Haydon grew around a tributary of the Bowmanville Creek, and a three -storey grist and saw mill established by Charles Somers Bates in 1847, who had been a Leiutenant in the local militia. At one time, the mill existed amongst the forest, and lumber contributed to the growth of the local economy. The mill was later owned by John Rowse, and Robert and Aurther Reid, and is thought to have operated until approximately 1940 and was demolished in 1973. Haydon Public School was built for "School Section 21 ". The building's use as a school ceased in 1965, and on December 20th of that year the Public School Board of the Township School Area of Darlington sold it to the Corporation of the Township of Darlington for public purposes. After 1965 the building was referred to as Haydon's "Club 21 ", originally a Home and School club. Today it continues to be well preserved and used as a local community hall and gathering place, and is a well-known local landmark. There are several old trees on the property that contribute to its contextual and historical significance.
