  30. Ripley, Houghton County Michigan: 110th Anniversary (privately printed, 1963). Eckert, Sandstone Architecture, 248, dates this to 1914 and D. F. Charlton, while Brisson, “D. Fred Charlton,” 166, suggests that it may have been built either ca. 1908 or 1914. Further clouding the picture, alert reader Jim Maclean found the following attribution in the Michigan School Board Journal, November 1906: “Archt. E. H. Mead has drawn plans for a school to be erected in district No. 2 Ripley.” For more information on Mead, an architect based in Lansing and Harbor Springs, see The Legacy of Earl H. Mead and Harbor Springs History.
