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.

Monroe #1

Square school, closed in the 1950s. Converted to a house with addition on the west side. From Hiawatha, take Tower Terrace Rd NW to Feather Ridge Rd and then turn north.  The second road on the west side is Rolling Rd; turn west on Rolling and proceed to the end of the road and the school will be on the north side of Rolling.  Address 8402.

Thank you for catching that. My brain must have slipped a gear there.
