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.

Halley School, Nevada

This school is part of the Nevada Historical Society’s “Evergreen Lane” collection, located at 1204 H Ave.  The school was built in 1874 and was located southeast of Nevada.  It was closed after the 1944-1945 school year.  It was later moved to the 4-H fairgrounds before being moved to Evergreen Lane.
The following photos were shot through the windows, since the building was locked.
