[@sarahstrong7174]

@Lava LifeGuard Thats what I was thinking. Probably didn't seem at all simple if you had children born with a Cleft Palate, crippled by Polio or dying of Tuberculoses, Diptheria or Scarlet Fever, or suffering Rickets, because you couldn't afford to feed them properly. Also they had a lot of the same problems families struggle with today, alcoholism, prejudice, domestic violence, child abuse, autism, unemployment, depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, teenage pregnancies. There would have been less information & understanding & often more judgement & not much help. If you had strong family nearby or a strong active church locally, including people who felt moved to help you, you would have been lucky.

They may carry a simplistic design but also quite alot of charm to it. As well as history added to it, too. You can never go wrong with.

Wow that place is so reminiscent of the old country school my Mum attended in the 1940-50s in Northern NSW. It too was eventually restored and made into a little home. The gym bars etc are still able to be seen in the yard. Thank You, I’ll be showing her this & know she’ll love it...and get all sentimental.

Thanks Laika! :-) Thats so cool and I`m glad your mum will enjoy also. I grew up near this area and there were many of these old schools back in the day but unfortunately fire and neglect has seen them no longer standing. The fact this one was still a school up til the early 70`s certainly helped its condition. :-)

Another great explore. Tons of these one room schools were here in the states. In Virginia some have found new purposes. One nearby me was used as a home after the school closed. It then was converted to a church which it remains as today. The basic shape is still the same. My Dad was from rural Oklahoma and attended these one room schools growing up in the late 40s and 50s. Lots of neat stories of riding his horse to school, tending the stove and being mischievous. He was the only child of 7 to graduate high school. Really neat to see this. Thanks so much for sharing ❤️

Hi Susan :-) So cool to hear they are all around in the States too! Many have not endured well like this one but I hope to find some more too.

It’s also called a chair rail. So when you pull your chair out it won’t tear the wallpaper or dent or punch through the wall. Or had a desk so she or he could keep an eye on the students. My guess is the 70s lights. They road horses to school.

The outside of this old classroom brought back memories of my misspent High School youth at Woodville High, Adelaide.There were quite a few of these old "temporary" classrooms in the school grounds. Around 1957, 2nd year or year 9, we had a teacher, Mr. "Pinhead" Bourke. Very liberal with the cane, Mr. Bourke used to wear army boots to school & would stomp his way around the classroom. The floor was SO rotten, that one day, Pinhead went through the floor was only visible from about the waist up. I absolutely defy anyone not to have laughed in that situation. Of course, anyone who did laugh was given a "jolly good thrashing" as a reward. Luckily, Mr. Bourke was facing away from where I was sitting...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi Paul!! :-D My father attended a one room schoolhouse as a child. I like how the building was modified into a home. Definitely industrious sorts. :-) Those lights are definitely out of the 70's. My grandparents has the crushed velvet chairs and shag carpets which I remember from my childhood (I'm 49) lol I noticed the ceiling medallions, it makes sense that they would have a dual purpose as ceiling vents. This building has a whole lot of potential! :-) I would much prefer an in-house toilet though. Trudging out to the outhouse while my folks built the ranch house I grew up in was no fun at all. :-P

[@urbexindigo5164]

Haha there was a nearly collapsed 2 door outhouse next to the shelter shed which im sure used to be the toilets for here. No fun at all. haha. Yep others agree 70`s for the lights :-) I hope t find a few more of these old schools around, they were scattered all over. Thanks for watching :-)

[@joannbird7305]

This was a very interesting school building. The size was a little bigger than the ones we had in the US. I wonder how many students it held and what grades these students were in. This was a very good video of this building.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Jo, the owner Ken said he can send me some newspaper clippings about the school so I may ask him more about it also :-) Glad you enjoyed , thanks for watching :-)

[@andrewkiwi1]

I was expecting grandma to be in the fridge. Those lights late 70s i think. One of my friends parents had one of the wall mounted ones by their front door.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thank goodness Grandma was not in there Andrew haha :-) Yep others agree 70`s for the lights too. Cheers for watching :-)

A very interesting find, i think the raised platforms were made or used a s a bed while it was a weekend home, it was a nice building.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep I tend to agree with that idea too Rolf, cheers for watching :-)

[@sandypritchard6216]

What a great place. Hope all who were taught there loved it. I'm sure I would've. All that space to roam outside. Hmmm..wonder if the teacher had an Australian cattle dog to herd them all back in after recess?lol.what is that rack up above? Thanks for another great explore. Hey If u get a chance ..check out Godwin. She has a fantastic video on an old Georgia plantation.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey Sandy :-) That platform would have been put in when they people turned it in to a weekender. Prob a small sleeping loft. A cattle dog would have been a very Aussie thing to do for rounding up the kids! haha :-)

[@johnamstutz]

What a neat find. Once again wonderful light fixtures,maybe Craftsman? That would be appropriate for the time it was built.

[@urbexindigo5164]

You might be right John. Glad they didnt mess too much with the interiors. Thanks for watching :-0

[@DDElectrical]

By the way - absolutely love your videos. Any chance you could show more close ups of switches and power points? They're a great way of dating houses/additions/approximates of when last lived in.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey mate! Glad you are enjoying the videos! :-) I have another viewer that love the ceiling fans too, knows them by make and model so i will try get a good look even more now too! Thanks again mate! :-)

[@BeeHudgins]

It's ashame the owner don't fix it up instead of letting it rot... Nice video...

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey Bobbie. Yes true but the owner just acquired the land for farming and the school just happen to be on that land. Cheers for watching. :-)

[@BeeHudgins]

@@urbexindigo5164 that is just so sad... He could fix it like a lil museum... It's ashame ppl today don't cherish the lil tid bits of history we have left to preserve them... If I were extremely wealthy I'd go around buying up the abandoned places & restoring them... I wish more ppl cared about history :(

[@catb-w5212]

What a shame the owner didn't look after it it could have been a beautiful place for people to stay and would have been extra 💰 for him still lovely old school house

[@urbexindigo5164]

The owner is very fond of it Cat but not so much as restoring it. Not yet anyway hehe :-) Maybe some extra interest will change that :-) Cheers for watching

[@frankietaz272]

Lovely place!! Feels like there was lots of fun and happy times been had 👍lights look mid 70s? To me. They are really AWFUL!! Would love to see it restored 😀👌

[@urbexindigo5164]

A restoration would be great. Ken the owner is very fond of it but I think he is getting on past any restoration ambitions, he would need help no doubt :-) Cheers for watching Penelope :-)

[@AdilsonSFaria]

Fantástico 👍👍

Hi Adilson, thanks for watching! :-)

[@elizabethtorres6069]

This is straight out of " Little House on the Prairie." Electric fence, be careful you don't become a Crispy Critter! 😁

[@urbexindigo5164]

Haha that is what a few others have said too Elizabeth. :-) It is a trip back in time for sure, thanks for watching :-) Not sure if the fence was even on lol

[@DDElectrical]

The ceiling fan is mid to late 70s. The switches I saw were Clipsal 77 series - 1963-1967 (ish), the Power points were a mixture of Clipsal (1963-1967ish). Unsure about the metal Wilco switches though...

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi DDElectrical :-) Wow you really know your stuff!!! :-) Glad you pay attention to the finer details and fixtures :-) Cheers for watching :-)

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

This is a another great explore. Still has that school look. I thought those were vents on ceiling. Thumbs up for Ken too. Thank you so much I appreciated and enjoyed this vlog. I have a question about the bees are they normal bees or those wild bees which I am told are killers

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Wendy :-) Yes Ken was a legend and very kind, he is even going to send me some news clippings about the old school :-) The bees are just honey bees, we do not have those Africanized bees here. They are easily navigated this time of year hives are far less active. Glad you enjoyed! :-)

[@earthbound4now474]

How many little tackers got the cane for stuffing up the arithmetic in that room? Nice look around Paul , awesome you got a back story of the property too.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yes the old cane would have been on hand next to the teacher ready! haha. Yeah it is always nice to have some info, thanks for watching Earthbound4now :-)

[@sandypritchard6216]

Well...guess I'll finally get to watch, like and comment on your videos. Have not been able to comment. Guess others have been having same issues.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Sandy :-) Trouble commenting??? Glad you can now, thanks for watching :-)

[@Momvon1]

Been a long time since I have seen a plug socket like that.

[@urbexindigo5164]

That little sink and plug were probably there from it original date! Pretty cool :-)
