As with the previous two Elkhorn schools, this one stands just to the side of the road in a lush green pasture.
The original building was quite small though obviously there was an addition at some point in time. Doesn't really look like a purpose-built schoolhouse, does it? In fact, on my trip through the area in 2017, I drove right past thinking it was probably an old homestead. Further research a couple of years later revealed it to truly be an historical school.
Elkhorn Township School #3 is only about a mile southwest of the second one.
Some prairie roses blooming on the east side of the building. Yes, I did stop to smell the roses.

I would have surmised it was a house too.
ReplyDeleteElkhorn #3 is definitely the odd one out.
