This old schoolhouse was run by two sisters up until the early 1940s / I shot this in black and white to give it that olden day feel

at Beltana – outback South Australia. Last used as a school in the 1960’s … after it closed, the kids travelled to Leigh Creek for school. There is no distortion in the shot – it really is that small!!

There are little schoolhouses like this all over Colorado…......this one sat just off one little highway we travelled on to get to the Sand Dunes National Monument near Alamosa Colorado. I like old buildings like this…..... they have a lot of character, and i like to sit and think about all the children that might have went to school here from the farming community surrounding it.

Featured in the group Canadian Historical and Pioneer Sites in May 2009 / Featured in the group Imagewriting in March 2009 / Featured in the group Dilapidated Buildings in February 2009 / Featured in the group Rural Canada Coast to Coast Pre 1960’s / Featured in the group Amateur Photographers’ Association / Featured in the group Nostalgic Art and Photography / One-room schoolhouses once dotted the entire province and were both the community and educational hub of the province. Parallel to the government allotment of land for the railways was an equally valued allotment of land for schoolhouses. Mass urbanization and institutionalization of the educational system has since all but desimated these landmarks. Recently efforts have been made to at least preserve the land on which these pillars of the community was once built. This is one of but many fading icons of Canadian Heritage. This site is the Burton School District 2744, east of Vanguard, Saskatchewan, Canada. Though the exact date that this schoolhouse was built is uncertain, it would certainly fall between the dates 1912 and 1930 as many senior residents of the Vanguard district received their primary and secondary education in this building! / Taken with a Sony DSC-H5 Point & Shoot camera. Some color enhancement to highlight the natural colors using Photoshop CS2 / / /

In the days of olde….. looks like something we could have all found in a one-horse town for a place to go for some book-learnin’. I have driven past this place dozens of times and never saw this great little two story treasure until today. Sits across from a farm with lush green grass and beautiful white horses. Number thirty-six in the Hobbit Hut series. LavenderMoon~ Surrealtor

Top 10 placement in a challenge in Rural Canada Coast to Coast Pre 1960’s – June 5, 2009 / Featured in Canadian Historical & Pioneer Sites – May 31, 2009 / Featured in Rural Canada Coast to Coast Pre 1960’s – January 19, 2009 This old schoolhouse (original building of Seabright School) is located in the Beausejour Pioneer Village Museum, Beausejour, Manitoba. Photo taken with Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Entering this old schoolhouse with all the accessories and desks brought back all the memories of my own schoolhouse from 1952+. This is the exact scene I lived with for many years of my schooling as a child. Remember the photo “I Walked The Line”, where I mentioned I walked to school many times, well this is what school looked like. All schools back then looked the same inside, same designs, same window treatments, everything is just like my school days. I loved school so much I became a teaching assistant for 17 years, retiring in 2003 after a very worthwhile job with my kids, the greatest kids anyone could teach. Nothing is more rewarding in my books than working with kids. /

A little piece of history found in Douglas County, Oregon. This building was built in 1873 and operated until 1959. It was used as a schoolhouse during the week and a church on Sundays. It has a spectacular little bell tower which has a broken off wooden pole coming out the top which may have held a cross although I’m not sure. I have always been interested in history and love things from the past and this building was a very fun place to shoot and walk around. While I was there I thought about what it was like to live back then, what the church services were like and if they might have held dances here later on in this buildings lifetime. There is an outhouse located behind and to the right of the schoolhouse/church. A very neat place which will not be here much longer. It is very old and in shambles, ready to fall down.

Acrylic & India ink art marker on canvas, 18×24 inches. This painting is actually a late stage extension of my childhood sexual abuse painting series. It symbolizes a quiet, nostalgic yearning for those lovely parts of my childhood that were either lost or at least, diminished, amidst the ugliness of the abuse. If interested, you can see the entire abuse series at http://www.gjefle-art.com/abuse/abuse-index.htm You can also see this paintings “sister” piece here on Redbubble. / / A somewhat significant difference between these two related paintings is the eye color. In the painting above, the eyes more closely match the desert sand. In “The Premonition Dreamt it was a Child”, the eyes are green – envious of the childhood it can’t really have. / ~

8/16/09 – First Runner Up in the All Kinds of Swings Challenge – Backyard Photography ~ Thank you!!! The old Clarks Valley Schoolhouse and tire swing in my son’s yard. / I’m certain this single-room country schoolhouse must be over 100 years old. It is located in a very rural area ~ 7 miles from the nearest town (Tower City). Also, behind the schoolhouse is a very old cemetary with lots of tombstones of young children who I think died from the flu outbreak in the early 1900’s. Since I took some photos, I’m intrigued about its history. I’ll update my description after more research!! / Taken in Clarks Valley, Rush Township, Dauphin County, PA ~ 4/18/09 THE SCHOOLHOUSE WINDOW / SCHOOLHOUSE DOOR /

Artists Note: First in a series… our past experiences are always with us. One must find peace and wisdom with yesterday’s tragedies… remain determined to keep cherished memories close and nurtured within the soul… looking to the future while living fully in each precious moment. / The schoolhouse represents the past, the girl is my Time Traveler, the raven is her guide, the shades of light symbolize positive and loving experiences, the shades of dark are times of turmoil and hopelessness. My original photo of the schoolhouse and background was taken in Cambria, CA. stock: girl

Constructed in 1895, this old school building in the Vernal District in Utah. You can image the kids sitting on the hard wooden seats and the lessons that where taught. I love the rustic feel to this building. Better viewed larger / Photo taken by Canon IXUS

The Sodom Schoolhouse is a very unusual structure, steeped in rich central Pennsylvania historic heritage! The Octagonal Schoolhouse was designed by a Scottish emigrant, based upon similar buildings from his original homeland. Construction began in early 1812. As the builders were working at the site, a wagon pulled up and stopped. The driver asked them if they would volunteer to serve as solders in the war of 1812. They immediately dropped their tools, right there on the spot and jumped on the wagon to go defend their country! Construction resumed in 1814 (when the builders returned from the war) and was completed in 1815. Originally, this was a community house of worship. In 1819 the building was re-dedicated as the Sodom School. It was named after the road and nearby crossroads where it was built. The name of the road was eventually changed to “Shakespeare Road”, but “Sodom School” has remained as the official name of the schoolhouse to this very day. The school is located along Pennsylvania Route 45, just east of the community of Mantandon, only a few miles from Lewisburg, PA. The site was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. This schoolhouse was repaired in the 1930’s, as a WPA work project. Major work was required after the devestating Agnes flood of 1972. Last year it was completely restored, including the entire interior, front door and all of the windows. It now has correct period slate blackboards on two of the walls and bench style desks. A refurbished cast iron “pot-bellied” stove sits right in the center of the classroom, just as the original one had been in 1815. This school served the surrounding communities until 1915, 100 years after the date that it was built. This photo was captured with a Canon EOS 10D body fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens, at the 21mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1/500th sec at f/4.5. The camera’s ISO was set to 100.

LaConner, Washington Located in western Skagit County, LaConner was once county seat and most populous town in the Skagit Valley. Bounded by farmland, the Swinomish Channel and the Swinomish Indian Reservation, it was an up-to-date town and lively terminus for river steamers bringing timber and lumber down from the upper Skagit, and port for farm commodities grown in the surrounding delta flatlands. Its brief county seat status was lost to Mount Vernon in 1883 and a series of economic misfortunes caused the town to slowly fade and be left in the backwaters for decades. With its sweeping waterfront and business district overseen by “The Hill,” the wooded, residential midtown bluff, it’s a scenic, historic time capsule. The inherent beauty of the environs, the atmospherics, and the cheap rent of the moldering town attracted artists and eccentrics. In 1937, Morris Graves (1910-2001), who was to become a painter of international renown, came to town and brought his artist friends. These bohemians mixed with rough and tumble fishermen, tow boatmen, and farm hands. Resident novelist Tom Robbins says of the town they created: “That this was an intersection of art and fishing and farming is what’s interesting and unusual and singular to this community” Featured IN NOSTALGIC ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP ~ 4 October 2009 All the images and text contained herein may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, transmitted or uploaded in any way without my express written permission.
