I wish this was a one -room county school.
Nostalgic reminders of a time now past,one-room schoolhouses are deeply embedded in our heritage.
Decades after original purpose and inhabitants have vanished, they dot the rural landscape in all conditions, from neglected and near collapse to handsomely renovated places repurposed into a new existence as living quarters.
Today no matter their state they stand as miniature gems of nineteeth-century American history as well as charming examples of rural architecture--above all, things to be treasured and preserved.
