The Elo School is a historic school built in 1906 and expanded in 1915. It is a 24 by 64 feet (7.3 m × 19.5 m) building with an enclosed porch and a bell tower. It was named for Reverend John William Eloheimo, a Finnish Evangelical minister, and his daughter Eva Eloheimo was one of its first teachers. The original 1906 structure was built for $612 by Abram Pekkala; the expansion was by Finnish carpenters John Heikkila and John Ruuska. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
