Ingebrigt School is one of about half a dozen one-room schoolhouses still standing in the Fox Valley area of Saskatchewan.
Windows on the south and west sides of the building. It must have been hot inside during the summer.
The lightning rod is more-or-less intact. Looks like something is missing...it may have had a glass ball and/or weathervane on top.
Signs like this one mark the locations of schools, churches and cemeteries from days gone by. Most of the churches and schools are long gone, the cemeteries are mostly neglected.
This is farming country. The crop around the school had already been harvested but the neighbouring fields were full of combines, grain trucks were coming and going on the dusty country roads. A busy time on the prairies.

Nice post Michael. Those lightning rods always catch my eye, most still have a glass ball or something. I'd love one as a decoration!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn. I like the old lightning rods myself. Some of the glass ball are really beautiful. Weathervanes catch my eye as well.
