[Leica] Schoolhouse at Besancon, Indiana #6

[Christopher Crawford]

These schoolhouses had one classroom that took up most of the building. Most of them also had two small rooms in the front extension of the building, on both sides of the door, that were for storage and for students to hang their coats in the winter. There was no restroom; they had outhouses. I've seen a few that had basements, with a second classroom down there, and one that had a second floor with a second classroom. Same basic design as the one in the photo, just taller with a second floor.
