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

"Pioneer School"

Located at 3060 Anderson Lane, Ephraim, WI. Built in 1880. In 1900, due to increase in student load from 60 to 80, the school was lengthened. It closed in 1948. Photographed 8/3/31.


In the photo of the ceiling, look on the right side and you can see a line where the original building ended. In the last photo the air conditioning unit sits right about where the original structure ended.
