The signage on the porch gable displays the years 1883, 1947, and 1985. I believe the school was established in 1883 and closed in 1947. This schoolhouse does not date to 1883 but was probably built circa 1910s-1920s to replace an earlier building. 1985 was perhaps the date the signage was placed, or the year of a reunion.
This School is almost in the city limits of my home town of Eastman, Georgia.
my mother was a student here. Her name was Frances Mercer. Born 1935.
I like the big windows and the classic ‘schoolhouse’ look of this building. I hope it’s preserved.
