This Romanesque-style building was Winchester’s public elementary school from 1901 through 1958. Located on the first lot of the original town, platted in 1830, the building fell into disrepair before being purchased in 2004. It has since undergone a total restoration and has now been repurposed as a county museum.
The Old School Museum displays artifacts related to local history, agriculture, transportation, communication and public education. There is a great collection of interesting and unique items gathered from the businesses and society of early Scott County.
During the restoration, careful attention was paid to historic detail. Indeed, the school building itself serves as a tribute to the building trades and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Winchester's former elementary school is a contributing property within the Winchester Historic District listed in 1979 on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes 438 buildings, of which 273 are contributing.
Winchester is the seat of Scott County. Located in West Central Illinois, the city is part of the Jacksonville Micropolitan Statistical Area. The estimated population of Winchester in 2019 was 1,467.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Repurposed. This was an old Orbit gas station from the space age days, now it's Suzie Burger! Maybe some of their Disco Tots for breakfast would be good. I wonder if fried Cheese Whiz is on the secret menu.
HMMM!

HLCoF everyone!
Previously the jar contained my homemade jam. The label is homemade, too. It is my photo of the view from our house at Rocky Butte. Mt Hood is obscured by the coin.
A long time ago someone must have needed an instant corral so they lashed a bunch of utility gates together. This makeshift corral at Quiet Valley Ranch looks like it has been there a long time. HFF
Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
This is the remains of a tree that was felled in my local park, as a result of disease. These sections were left where they were felled and have become a feature, where families gather in the Summer and children climb. There is so much character in this solid timber that must be many years old.
Repurposing your children's toys is a is a nice way to keep their memories close, and spiff up the old property a bit.
Happy Slider's Sunday.

CS-TOP, an Airbus A330-202, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. "PEDRO NUNES" was arriving as TAP9187 (Transportes Aereos Portugueses, S.A., operating as TAP Air Portugal) from Lisbon, Portugal.
This aircraft was reconfigured as a dedicated freighter in December 2020 and now wears "AIR CARGO" titles. This flight's payload was reportedly COVID-19 vaccines.
Hiding away from the eyes of the general public, this neat little critter spends her retirement days shuffling cars around within the confines of Charter Steel in Saukville, Wisconsin in a mostly intact coat of WC maroon and gold paint with it’s WC road number. The CN owns the Mill-Saukville portion of this line specifically to serve Charter Steel with a local based in Germantown, while the WSOR owns everything north up to Kiel and west to Ackerville with a local based in Granville. A quick picture search indicates that the retrofitted safety railings along the top of the hood were installed within the last couple of years. They’re not pretty, but at least the paint matches.
A view of one of the shop tracks at Baltimore & Ohio’s Glenwood Yard reveals Chesapeake & Ohio 8504, the hulk of an F7B used to transport prime movers. Also on the same track are a B&O gondola, and the frame of B&O crane X48.
Our coal-powered electrical generating plant will soon be replaced by one that is solar powered. Here's my tongue-in-cheek suggestion for how the old plant could be used.

This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
