Ayr School located in the Homesteaders' Village located in the Manitoba Agricultural Museum grounds in the Town of Austin Manitoba Canada
The Ayr School is representative of schools that appeared in pioneer Manitoba. It is a very Spartan building. The desks were long benches. The students used slates and chalk as there were no notebooks. The blackboards were boards painted black and the school was heated by a wood stove. The washroom facilities would have consisted of an outhouse. Water would have been provided by pail from a nearby source. While some pioneer schools had their own water well, other schools did not. Someone then had to obtain water from a nearby well, stream or pond on a daily basis.
As well as functioning as a school, Ayr also served as a dance hall, community hall, church or another purpose the community needed. In the pioneer era, money was scarce and public buildings had to serve as multipurpose facilities.

A cloud shrouded Beartooth Plateau can be seen behind the old Pioneer School near Clark, Wyoming on a November morning. In September, 1913 Powell Wyoming School Board held a bond election to fund the building a school house for children who lived on farms and ranches in the then remote area around Clark, Wyoming along the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone. $2,500 in bonds were sold and Josephine Green Lukes sold 2 acres of land to School District No. 4 for $1.00 for the school site. The school, built in 1914, was originally a one room schoolhouse. It was designed by architect Curtis Oehme, and constructed by H.P. Anderson. The original structure had no indoor plumbing so, in 1953 the school was upgraded to include indoor plumbing and a teacherage which was added to the east end of the building. Further upgrades were made In 1956 which included a music room added to the north side of the building. The school, known as the Pioneer School, operated until 1969 when school consolidation and busing of rural students made the school obsolete. It then became a community hall, used to house a wide variety of events over the years. Given its present condition it appears that the school may be unused at present. The school is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
I'm pretty sure this was once a school and then turned in to home(s) and now it seems vacant.
For Windows Wednesday
While getting a possible last real chance for a fresh air day with my better half before some of the first nasty days of winter sets in a few days with some decent snow in the forecast we came across along the Hudson River there is some construction fencing to some large scale project that painted by I believe by some local school kids. Amazing what some kids can do.
School days, school days
I'm older now and what will I find about my
School day, school days
I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind
Used to be the wild one
Hated class only lived for fun
I'm mean and got my schemes
At the crazy age of eighteen

This abandoned place was an old community school. The road is used by locals and tourists, it's an undiscovered beauty route to travel through. Nowadays there is a discussion who would be responsible, however I look forward to be restore and give an worthy use.

These are a couple of my old high school yearbooks. A lot of people disliked their teenage years or high school, but not me. Those were some of the best times of my life!

The Butlerville High School in Butlerville, Indiana was built in 1904, and closed between 1948 and 1950. The school has sat abandoned for my entire life and by the time I shot this the bell tower and second floor offices had completely caved in. An elementary school was added next to it in 1922, but has also sat abandoned since 1978.
For a look at both schools somewhat more intact, see here:

This old school was built circa 1923 with locally sourced basalt stone. It is now a private residence. I'm glad to see they left the old outhouse as it sets the time period tone.

the new school is rapidly getting near completion - HWW!
this week saw installation of the brand new playground
A school was established here in 1887, and the current building dates from 1902. The Manitoba Historical Society does an amazing job documenting these sites and on their entry it states that, "among the teachers of Brown Lea School were Miss Lucy Cockburn (1887), Miss Eliza (1888), Miss Ross (1898), Miss Edith Young (1902), and Mrs. Eva Gouldie". I wonder what their lives and their students' lives were like.

I wrote a blog post about this trip in February/March 2022. If you'd like to see some behinds the scene shots, video and read some stories about how I shot these images, take a look.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
