The Cedar Grove Academy building was built in late 1845, replacing a smaller school structure. Samuel W. Hughes founded the school. Orange County bought the school in 1914; it closed in 1915.
From the NRHP Cedar Grove Rural Crossroads Historic District (OR1424) form:
"...the school building was a two-story, frame, triple-A structure with a full-facade hipped porch with a spindlework cornice. The four-over-four windows were set in segmentally arched openings. The double-leafed central entrance set within a projecting central bay. A four-sided pedimented cupola crowned the roof."
