English River #3, Snake Hollow School

From SR1 just north of Kalona, turn west on 110th St for about a mile to Larch Ave. The school, now used as a home, is on the NW corner.  
The bottom photo was shared to Facebook. It shows the original wooden school still standing as it was replaced by the brick one.

Ft. Atkinson

Looks like this was a city school, possibly 2- or 4-rooms. Built 1915, now used as library and museum.

Susan Gosse Leibold provided this information on FaceBook:

This was the public school built in 1915. Nine grades were taught at that time with 10th grade added in 1918, 11th grade in 1919 and 12th grade in 1927. The gym next door was added in 1950. Fort Atkinson Public School existed until 1960. At that time, Fort Atkinson joined the new Turkey Valley School District. Even though the local history book doesn't say it, I know kindergarten students went there for awhile -- Turkey Valley didn't have kindergarten - because my husband went to K there in 1974. Today it houses the public library and Fort Atkinson Museum, and meeting rooms downstairs.

This last photo is of the back side.

Amish School, Indiana Ave

Located .15 miles south of 150th St on Indiana Ave.  Looks like it could have been an original school updated? On the 1930 aerial map it appears there is a school at this location. I'm seeking more information.

Bertram Township #8, Emmons School

Closed in the 1940s. 1646 O’Connor Rd. Proceed east from Highway US151/SR13 on Mt. Vernon Rd just over 2 miles to O’Connor Rd and turn north. A short distance will be the junction of Bloomington Rd, which angles NW. In that angle is the school, now a house with nice additions and 3-car garage.

This first photo is of the east side, showing the addition of the garage to the north.

The next two are of the south side.

This last shot is of the west side; note the dormer and the addition.

Washington #9

Closed in 1950s. Additions on the west side. From Center Point, proceed SW on Lewis Access Rd across I-380 to Wildlife Rd (first road on south side) and turn south. Proceed to Cedar Heights Rd and turn east. Proceed to High Woods Rd and then turn south. When High Woods bends east it becomes Quail Ridge Rd and the very next intersection is Williams Lake Rd. On the NW corner of Williams Lake and Quail Ridge is the school.  One can also turn SE on Williams Rd from High Woods Rd, Williams Lake being the first road on the east side south of Cedar Heights.

With this next photo, of the north side, you can see the addition and garage on the west side of the house.
