Built in the 1880s, this school’s roof was destroyed by a fire in the 1940s. At some point in time the school was used as an art gallery, but is now used for storage. Proceed north out of Shellsburg on County W26 4.7 miles to 59th St, and then proceed .9 mile east to the school on the south side of the road.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis my dad's he has owned it for about 30 yrs
It is his workshop not storage, he is a woodworker.
The floor needs to be replaced and to dangerous to walk on.
He has the material to redo it but has been sick and not able to.
The schoolhouse is his pride and joy and is his getaway,he goes up there every day
Thank you for that information.
ReplyDeleteThe person who told us where to find this is who told us it was used for storage.
DO you by any chance know the ID of the school?
