I've been out and about the last few days and this was one of the locations on my list I managed to visit. A blue sky might have been nicer but at least the sun did appear briefly to cast some light and shadow on the landscape behind.
There are a few ruins of old stone cottages in the valley but it appears uninhabited these days. It's probably famine times since the role was last called in this schoolhouse. I wonder did the children realise they possibly had one of the most picturesque school locations in the country.
Now a historical marker, this pink schoolhouse was built in 1854, nobody knows why it was painted pink, it’s the same color today as it was back in its heyday, most say because it’s location was on back roads and it was the only was you could find it.
This narrow street runs along beside Hersbruck Castle, creating a picturesque view with part of the castle included. Lens: Samyang 12mm. [FUJI4346_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
The Elmira schoolhouse was moved to Red Oak II on its 100th anniversary. The artist, whose passion created the town, actually attended the school.
Here's another point of view of this abandoned schoolhouse I posted a while back. One of my favorite schoolhouses I photo’d.

My husband and I were taking a Sunday afternoon drive in one of the old rural roads in our area and look what I found on the side of the road. Back in the old days this was schoolhouse.
Greenland Creek, Panthertown Valley, Nantahala Forest, North Carolina...A final tribute to this little gem of a waterfall...Perhaps next time, given the opportunity, I'll photograph this setting when people are present... I'm glad and grateful for the opportunity to visit.
The fact that the schoolhouse is still standing is what makes it unique.A fictional house – a movie prop so to speak. That movie was Ryan’s Daughter .
The North River stone schoolhouse is a one-room building constructed in 1874 of coarse native limestone. It closed in 1945 and is located just north of Winterset, Iowa. Mobile photo.

Built in 1908 this abandoned schoolhouse has a very sad story....in 1990 Dennis Depue shot his wife in the back of the head and dumped the bloody blanket behind the school and dumped her body in a field behind the church, he thought he was never seen but a couple out driving around spotted him and watched what he was doing, the movie Jeepers Creepers has a scene where it almost duplicates what transpired.
After Dennis had killed his wife he fled the state, the murder made it on the show “ Unsolved Mysteries “ in 1991, when he learned that he was on the show and the cops where closing in on him he tried to flee and had a shoot out with the cops, Dennis Depue died by self inflicted gun shot.
You can find a lot of this information on Google
It was a nice day to drive south to Kansas from my home state Nebraska and photo some abandoned places yesterday. So, here’s one of my first stops, a schoolhouse.
It looks like someone have been well-taking care of this property as there are some decorations like wooden wreath by the door, etc.
An old schoolhouse in the middle of the state of Kansas. Converted this to monochrome to bring out the vivid cloud action appearing in the sky that afternoon. This treatment lended well to the blacks in the frame. Hope you enjoy.

This one room schoolhouse sits abandoned on the Canadian prairie in Saskatchewan. I looked inside and saw that the chalkboards were still on the walls and a few desks were scattered about, waiting in vain for the return of happy children.
The school building in the ghost town of Bannock, Montana was constructed by the Masons. The first floor was for the school and the second floor was devoted to the Masons. The town is preserved by the state of Montana in a State Park.
Happy Fence Friday!
Located in the Marshall Gold Discovery Park in Coloma, California. This is the restored one room schoolhouse on a warm summer day.
I first found this deteriorating schoolhouse almost twenty years ago and it is now disappearing into the surrounding foliage. Oddly enough, it is in a very well kept farming neighborhood but has been isolated in this clump of trees. I now see that some of the bigger mulberry trees have been cut down so I guess it is getting some maintenance!
The former school for the area once known as Atwood. It now says community center, but does not look like it gets much use. I won't list it as abandoned though.
The Former Atha School House is a typical, small, red brick schoolhouse and is a good example of early Ontario rural school architecture resulting from the provincial standards for appropriate rural school design in the 19th century. Constructed of very good quality materials and craftsmanship, the Former Atha School House is also a good example of the simple and adaptable functional design of the open, well-lit, one room layout of schoolhouses from this period.
