Walker, IA, Polk #6

This school was one we came across on our way home from Independence, the same day we shot the previous photo (10/30/05).  We took a back road to a friend's house before heading home, and passed this school 3.5 miles west of Walker, on the south side of Iowa SR 920, at the junction of County Route J92.
UPDATE 12/10/10:  SR920 is now designated County Route D62.  This school is no longer here.  Some foundation debris was seen today; perhaps it was moved elsewhere rather than torn down?

UPDATE 11/20/18: I learned from someone who knew a member of the family who rented the farm on which this school stood, and they were told that a grass fire got out of control and burned down this school.
