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

It looks like the church on Little House which I think they used as the school as well! Much more realistic Prairie setting than the series!! I can only imagine the long distances the kids would have to travel/no school buses?? Storms moving in and the kids having to stay overnight? This dwelling looks like it could be opened and used but I would think rural people have moved into towns and cities! This would make a great painting as it looks llike a landmark in it's position there and will be there hopefully forever-Beautiful Lines!!!

The series did a good job at capturing the hardship of prairie life.

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. :(

That building has been in far more recent use than 1939. Witness the plastic chairs. 1970s possibly. Maybe it was used as a youth club or Sunday School for a while. In the 1960s I went to an infant school in Crowborough, Sussex, England that had outside toilets without roofs. I remember sitting there with snow drifting onto my knees. Sometimes the toilets froze solid & we were advised to "try to hold it".

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.

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.

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.
