I haven't seen a thread of pics with our bikes at old school houses. I personally find these old schools interesting. Many around here have been converted into homes, offices etc. Let the pics begin. Try to post a little info such as location and any history you may know about it. This is the old rockland schoolhouse near front royal VA. It's currently used as an antique shop. I believe it was used as a school until around 1920's but don't quote me on that. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
There is a thread in the Canada section. Just for inspiration The Canadian One Room Schoolhouse Thread
Ivyland, Penna. I went to school here. It was one room, with a partition running down the middle separating 1st, 2nd, & 3rd grades from 4th, 5th, & 6th grades. The foyer in the front is the "cloak room," the bathroom is in the basement, and along the right side, below the windows, was a small library that included the What Is a and So You Want to Be a series of books.
Cool description hamboneslim. I wondered when I started this thread how many schools would be posted by a former student. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
A few there's not much left of some River View school, sorry seems I forgot the picture of the sign for this one. These are old schools in the Northwest Kansas area. There were a lot of one room school houses out on the prairies.
This was once a one room 1-12 grade adobe schoolhouse in the Chiricahua Mountains <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/az-johnny/4600235778/" title="26th Anniversary Ride 001 by AZjohnny, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1401/4600235778_a4ac95abaf_b.jpg" width="1024" height="711" alt="26th Anniversary Ride 001"></a>
Abandoned one-room schoolhouse, Yonkers, OK. The school was for children up through eighth grade and averaged 30-40 students. The town and school were abandoned in 1935 when the Corps of Engineers built a dam and lake here, flooding the area during high waters.

Former elementary school, currently vacant. Stephens City, VA. Picture taken at the rear since the front didn't offer a good parking spot. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
This one is in Middletown, VA..... Years ago I looked at this building and considered purchasing it to convert it into my home. I never made the move and someone else did. Currently used as a single family home. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
This one is in Reliance, VA. I believe its a former elementary school. The current owner has converted it into his home and has gone to great length to disguise it. I know its hard to see:.....but I didn't want to invade their privacy by getting any closer. I actually repaired the driveway for the owner about 5 years ago. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
That's me. I have a list of about twenty places like that to go visit, including more schools. Lisa doesn't like it so much. She's afraid of what/who we might run into.
Not really an old schoolhouse,,, and not that rare around here... An Amish school,,, grades 1-8. Then they go to work.
Noticed this one today.....it currently serves as a library and community center. It's located at Seven Fountains, VA ..... No proof it was ever a school, but its showing all the symptoms. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
