North side of I-90 at exit 241. Access was not immediately found so photos were taken from I-90. First photo was taken on 7/30/16 while westbound and looking over our shoulder as we passed it, while the others were taken on 8/6/16 when eastbound when we stopped on the shoulder of the highway.
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
