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.

Montrose Township, Summitville School

Located at 3324 243rd Ave (Old US61/218), just south of 330th St., or about 3/4 mile north of County J82.  Has been added on to so much that it no longer looks like a school.

My ex husband and I purchased this home in 1995. Learning more about the school from a Mrs Art Neff that lived down the road. Inside the garage corner of home still has original siding of school. The outhouse has been taken down recently from New owner.
