EASTPOINTE Eastpointe’s beloved Halfway Schoolhouse got a facelift on May 15, thanks to the East Detroit Historical Society and some local volunteers. They spent the day repainting the exterior and doing some basic maintenance on the building.
The schoolhouse was originally built in 1872 and now is situated next to Eastpointe High School. For generations, it has been used by the community for both educational purposes and social events.
