Columbia School (Columbia District No 2) was built in 1909. It's an attractive red-brick schoolhouse, well maintained with a metal roof, and with an intact bell tower and school bell. There are 4 large windows on each side of the schoolhouse, and a central front door with a large window on either side of it. At the top of the door is a sign proclaiming this to be a "Standard School", meaning one which conformed to the highest standards of Michigan one-room schoolhouses of the day. Above that is the school identification sign which reads "1909 Columbia Dist. No. 2". The decoration around the windows is trivially simple: a concrete sill and a concrete lintel.
