The furniture was built by a local carpenter in the community, and the blackboards where made from dressed lumber that was simply painted black.
The first school board for this school house consisted of Mr. Gilpen, Mr. Hubbert and Mr. Shriggley.
The school burnt down during 1887.
School was held in a private home until a new school was erected in 1888.
From time to time upgrades to the school where made including double seats, slate blackboards, and a water well that was drilled for in 1910 to mention some.
In 1916 it was found that the school was not large enough to accommodate the students, so a 16 foot addition was added.
In 1935 this second school was destroyed by fire, and nothing from the school was able to be saved. The cause of the fire was unknown. For the remaining school year, the students where then taught in the local church.
In the spring of 1935, the burnt school was cleaned up and a new school house began to take shape. All the woodwork in the interior of the school was British Columbia Fir. The carpenters were, Percy Lewis, Chas. Middaugh, W. McColeman, and Mr. F Lowry. By the end of the summer the school was completed, and the students began there year in the new building. This new school was completed with desks and seats required to accommodate 34, a teachers desk, book case, a household science table, including other items of equipment. Mr. Wightman, Public School Inspector conducted the official opening of the new Britainville School.
Around 1965, plans for a new 3 room school to be built here were discontinued and the school closed in 1967. The remains of this school still exists today, but has now collapsed due to the elements of nature.
