Iowa One Room Schools: Lincoln #7 (Possible)

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.

Lincoln #7 (Possible)

On White Oak Ave, about 1/4 mile north of 560th St., on the west side of the road. A building is located on the site, and looks like it was maybe the school. There has been a large door cut on the south side of the building to make it a machine shed. The west side wall is plastered with a chimney.

This first photo is of the north side:

The remaining photos were taken from the south side of the building.

Photographed on 5/30/17
