Franklin Township #?, The Red School

This school was built in 1874, and was painted red in 1883.  The school operated until 1967.  It was moved to the Allamakee County Fairgrounds in 1978.  The fairgrounds are located on the east side of SR9, on the north side of Waukon.
These next photos were taken by holding the camera above the the curtains in the back windows.  For a fairly short guy like me, it was a tip-toe operation!
Photographed on 10/3/11
