This is an old one-room school house near my home. It's been decades since children crossed its threshold and it is no longer in use. It has seen much neglect and is in a state of disrepair.. Still.. one can find these doting the countryside every couple of miles.
My mother-in-law went to school in a building much like one of these.. some day I'll take the short drive to the area where she grew up & see if her old school house stands. If it does, I'll take a photo.
Several of these old school houses have been turned into 'living museums'.. a few of the larger ones have been purchased and turned into homes or businesses, a great many of them have been torn down. I chose to take photos of the old schools that stand as quiet sentinels to a by-gone era..

Really good photos, Rose.
ReplyDeleteInteresting history behind the buildings.

Excellent photos Rosie. I like the second one, sort of reminds me of a "Little House" moment.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they have to tear them down sometimes.
