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 #2

Closed in the 1950s. Follow Blairs Ferry Rd west out of Hiawatha and it will bend NW and then North.  Not far past Oak Grove Rd is a dirt loop on the east side called Elf Ln.  Immediately on the west side of Elf Ln is the much modified school, with address 7407.  The front door appears to be the front of the original building.
