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.

English River #3, Snake Hollow School

From SR1 just north of Kalona, turn west on 110th St for about a mile to Larch Ave. The school, now used as a home, is on the NW corner.  
The bottom photo was shared to Facebook. It shows the original wooden school still standing as it was replaced by the brick one.

Thanks,
Someone else told me that long ago and I never got around to editing it.
