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.

Winchester Independent School

Used from 1869 to 1918. Relocated from the small village of Winchester, in Union township, to Keosauqua, at the SW corner of 4th Street and Oak St. For a while it was used for administrative offices for the local school district, but is now being used as a classroorm(s?) for either “troubled” or special needs kids - can’t remember which.
