A handsome brick schoolhouse near Theodore, Saskatchewan.
I had a heck of a time identifying this one. There is no sign at the site and internet resources on the area are skimpy at best. Nonetheless, with some perseverance I was eventually able to glean the scant information to positively identify it as Westbrook School.
Other than the chimney missing a few bricks and one of the lightning rods being a bit askew, the building is in good condition.
The dense bush in the foreground is what appears to be the original caragana hedge along the west side of the schoolyard.
From this angle the building is almost hidden...blink and you'll miss it.

Too bad this one hasn't been blessed with one of the signs that so many others have. I think the overhang over the front door is interesting on this one.
ReplyDeleteMany of the Saskatchewan one-room schools had that distinctive overhang above the front door. It adds a bit of charm.
