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 the blog with schools in other states.

Dover #?, South of Eldorado, IA

In this school we could see the remnants of the blackboard but could not get in a position to photograph it.  This school is 2.8 miles south the Turkey River (at Eldorado) on Iowa SR 150, on the west side of the road.  Photographed on 6/29/08.
Update: On 8/1/12 we drove by this school and, since it was falling apart, we photographed it again.
