Iowa One Room Schools: Big Grove #2, Hazel Green

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.

Big Grove #2, Hazel Green

To find this school you must proceed north out of Solon on SR1 to 120th Street, and then turn west go 2.1 miles. This school is on the north side of 120th. As you can see, the front wall is missing and it is being used as a storage shed. Photos taken 7/4/11
