There are a lot of them around here that have been converted into houses, and they're all in nice condition, since people live in them. I know of one that has been turned into a church. I don't think they'd work well as modern schools. There are just too many kids here. I was a teacher for Fort Wayne Community Schools for a few years. We had 40,000 students and 50 schools in our district! Can't imagine how many one-room schools would be needed to replace those 50 schools and house 40,000 kids. Keep in mind, too, that one-room schools only provided education up to 8th grade. We had six high schools that each had 1500-2000 students! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook ?On 12/28/20, 4:51 PM, "LUG on behalf of Don Dory via LUG" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: I'm glad that it hasn't been knocked down, but sad that the best use is as a garage. In the Covid days maybe a one room school house would be perfect.
