This building is called the Oakdale Schoolhouse. It was the one-room schoolhouse for the pioneer farm families in the area. The Hare Krishnas added the porch-like structure onto the front in the early 1980's for use as a sculpture studio. Also, the original bell used when the building operated as a schoolhouse still hangs in the cupola.
