Hi Don and others tonight:

Well Don not exactly, the roof structure is different the rafters in the Maxville school were just vertical sawn 2 by 5's
half lapped at the peak and pinned.

I am perplexed about the chicken wire under the shingles that is unusual for sure.

Tarring wooden shingles was widely practised here in Upper Canada in the early days of settlement

I forgot to mention that the system of early settlement here in Upper Canada saw the religious groups settled separately. the french, scotch, german, and irish respectively, and I suspect the building types sort of melded together.
