Origins

I grew up in a small Ohio town, and I rode the school bus from 1st through 12th grades. My bus ride always included a country road on which every school day we saw a one-room brick school house. (SW corner of Stine Rd and Enon-Xenia Pike). As the years went by, I watched this wonderful, familiar friend fall apart. After I married, the school really began to deteriorate. Every time we visited the area I would want to take a photo of the school, but never did. Finally, when we went specifically for the task, the school was gone. It was a huge loss for me and, since that time, whenever we pass a one-room school, it is a joy to stop to take a picture or two. Thus, our collection here and on our Iowa One Room Schools blog. :oD Jill

Trenton, WI

About half-way between Beaver Dam and Waupun, WI, on US151,  is this old brick school.  It was on the Southeast corner of Breezy Point Road, about a mile northeast of County Route A.  The fire address of the house next to it said "Town of Trenton W7811"  Photos taken on 8/25/10.

The following photos were taken on 8/2/21. Notice the deterioration of the roof.
