From Victor, proceed north on SR21 to one mile north of 160th Ave, and the school will be on the west side of the road, now converted into a house. Since the school was closed, the hill the highway is on has been cut down, so the house looks to be sitting higher on a hill than in the old photographs.
The first photograph is from Owen Jones' book, One-Room School Houses: Iowa County, Iowa 1844 - 1966. The school faces east, at the road.
The next photo is taken from street level, looking at the front of the school.
This next photo is taken from street level, looking at the NE corner.
This last photo is looking at the south side of the house.
Photographed 8/25/12
