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.

Hale Township #2
South-southwest of Wyoming is the small village of Hale, through with County Highway E45 runs east/west. This school is on the north side of E45, 1 mile east of the village of Hale. Old stone school with roof caved in.

My grandfather attended this school in the 1910s. We were in Hale today 05/28/2022 and the school still looks about the same as your photo.
Hi Miss Iowa,
Thank you for that update; I'm glad it hasn't deteriorated much further.
