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.

Wilton Township #4

From U.S. Highway 6 in Durant, proceed 3.5 miles south on Underwood Ave to the junction of 130th St; this junction is just a curve west from Underwood, and the address is 3301 Underwood.  It appears that originally 130th continued east on the south side of this school and Underwood passed on its east side.  There are still playground items and a pump in the yard. Additions have been added to the north, west, and east sides of the original structure.

The first two photos are taken from 130th St looking east-northeast:

This second photo is zoomed up on the original section
This last shot is of the south-east side of the structure.
Photographed 1/6/18
