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.

Cono Christian School, Walker, IA
Photographed on 5/1/09. This school is preserved at the Cono Christian School a couple miles north of Walker, IA, on County Road W35.
On 5/7/25 we drove by this school again to get better photos. Also, I'm not sure it's with a Christian School: the sign says "Ridge Haven Cono Camp and Retreat Center."
