This is Highland School #3...
...which is also known as Upland Township School #2.
Eight double hung windows stretch across the north wall of the building. The dark coloured opening set into the foundation on the adjacent wall is the coal chute.
The covered entrance is on the southeast corner and is supported by a solid wooden column. The steps are getting wobbly but the school building itself is in good shape. Yes, it could use a paint job.
Look closely...
...someone has marked the school site by placing a weathered wagon wheel near the entryway.
The mowed grounds set the school apart from the surrounding grassland making it the special feature of the area.

I find it interesting that all those windows were north-facing. Not a very efficient way to deal with the cold, particularly when it's more than certain they only had single-paned windows.
ReplyDeleteNorth light is usually what's found in art studios. Chances are the school wasn't used in the coldest months.
DeleteNice find.
ReplyDeleteLots to see in ND.
