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

basic design as the one in the photo, just taller with a second floor.

My mother, who died last June at 99 years, 11 months, taught in a one-room
schoolhouse as her first job out of Wisconsin State Teachers College in
1940.  When war broke out, she joined the Navy and didn't get back into
teaching until the sixties, when she got her Master's in special education.
