Liberty School 1909 - 1939

WOW! I love that the blackboards, tables and benches are all still there! We could hold class there today. I hope preservation will be done.

I highly doubt it'll happen. Once mold and pigeons creep in, the cost to make a structure like this safe for humans would be costly. :(

@@secondaryhighway Preservation isn't restoration. It simply keeps things from deteriorating more and rotting away to nothing.

[@secondaryhighway]

@@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr ah Yes you're right. My mistake. Bannock Montana is a ghost town and they use the term Arrested Decay. They do their best to keep it from getting any worse. :)

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

@@secondaryhighway I've been to Bannock and loved it! They do a great job of preserving what's there. Maybe one day I can make it back again.

Memories.. I went to District 81 school.. One room schoolhouse in Nebraska..17 total kids. K-11. Seniors went to the city school to graduate. No indoor plumbing. Separate outhouses in the opposite corners of the acreage.. I believe everyone should experience this.. A rarity in today's world

I live in what used to be a 1 room school that was moved to where it is in 1922. It looks exactly like that school on the outside. I still have some original trim around the windows that's exactly the same. That school looks to be in somewhat decent condition yet. Thanks for the explore.

[@secondaryhighway]

Wow what a home it must be!

I appreciate how thorough you are in looking at things from different angles.

Just found your channel. Subscribed and loving it. Only one little thing, I hope you start carrying a light with you for those dark spaces. I’m so curious to see everything. Very awesome videos.

[@alannachristie6495]

Cool! I even know where this is! Work for the county and recognised it right away! Awesome! ❤

[@secondaryhighway]

It's a great little building.

[@alannachristie6495]

@@secondaryhighway there are more than a few old buildings in this county!

From my Mom's stories, she attended a school much like this after her family arrived in Canada (Northern Alberta) in 1938. Someone, likely an older student, would be tasked to fire up the wood stove, early, before school started. This may have been the cause i of it burning down. Now just a plaque remains to mark where it stood.

[@secondaryhighway]

Yes I’ve heard similar stories. 😢

[@tashasmith6179]

Very cool 😮

[@kmalcolm5352]

Great stuff, again! Interesting how it had a full basement with an oil furnace, but the toilets were an add-on in the lean-to. Looks like possibly it had been used as a community hall.

[@bobthetog7555]

Interesting walk through, I would be concerned about asbestos in that basement!

[@SheilaNichols-e3k]

Heating ducts do look like compromised asbestos wrap.

[@peanuts1173]

This does not look real! Such a gorgeous setting.

[@Lincolntowncoupe]

Wow did this place actually have a flush toilet downstairs? Or was it one of those bottomless pit of despair toilets?

[@secondaryhighway]

I didn’t lift the lid lol.
