How times have changed! 🙏
That they have. It’s a fair guess there were no Zoom classes in this school.
🤣🤣🤣
Such a pretty winter scene!
Thank you Liz.
A testament to sound construction, that it still stands. Great photo. Like how the shadows add interesting lines to the facade. 😊🙏
Thank you so much. It’s a pretty building.
See? Anything is possible. The strong will survive. 😜
That’s right. It’s a fair guess there were no Zoom classes in this school.
Right?! 😜
Wow the color and light is beautiful, Chris!
Thank you so much, Ally.
My pleasure, Chris!
Today’s schools are huge. Maybe in the old days, lesser kids or leeser kids who can afford school. Economic changes indeed
I think back then, many students were kept out of school to work on the family farm or whatever. Different times.
Yes, as the economic times grew and basic needs such as Maslow hierarchy were met then education became a focal point. Thanks for sharing that thought. You are right.
This is such a pretty photo, Chris–the colors, the shadows… Is that a Little Library in the front?
Thank you, Lois. I think it is a little library. Those have become hugely popular.
Lovely view of a bygone era, compliments of the preservation and display of the building.
It is beautifully preserved. It would be fun to have observed one of their classes.
Makes me sound old as the hills, but I spent the first month of first grade in a one-room schoolhouse! Took several years to make up the deficit.
Wonder how many students they crammed in there?
There was no social distancing back then…or Zoom.
True! hahaha
My Mom was a student in a one room school house.
Could not imagine that today. And I giggled to your reply to Ashley… no zoom for sure!
What a unique experience your mother had. Thanks, Nancy.
Gorgeous 🌷
Thank you so much.
