Photography: School House
My grandfather's old school house in Hassell, North Carolina
Population: 72
Photo info: I took this picture in December of 2006. The school housed children in grades primary through secondary. There was some rain the day I took this picture. I love the way the rain made the brick steps glisten. It also gave the old building a slightly different shade.

A school closed since 1928 which is in a wonderful forest in the mountain
During my vacation (ten days long) I took so beautiful pictures, saw si wonderful landscape ! It's difficult for me to coma back in Cergy !
Your grand father's school is so modest and simple. I'm sure that all the kids and their teacher wanted so much to do a good job then
Yes, it would be hard to live in a town with a population of 72. :)I like the city as well, but there are times that I long for my small town upbringing. Good to see you. Peace~
Cergie-
It must have been beautiful if you didn't want to go back home to Cergy. :)You'll have to post that picture soon. Good to see you.

Profzero-
Yes. I took this picture in December 2006.
Lovely pic, thanks for allowing me to share in your history.
My pleasure. :)
I take advantage of the preserved history as often as I can. This has been my little passion since I was a child. It has grown into something very passionate now that I'm older and I love to share it.
Here's a quiz for you and your readers:
Do you think people who went to schools such as this are less intelligent?
What was the role of parents in these schools vs the role of parents today?
What are your thoughts about those who are defined by the type of school they attended?
P.S. I define myself ***wink***
Good to see you again! Our love to you and yours.
Thank you. I love the image you've painted. :)
Tryphina-
!! Where have you been? :)Good to see you back. You present some interesting questions. Some of the greatest minds in the world have attended schools like this. This was especially true in the early days of the 20th century America. Schools for African Americans (or Colored if you're talking to my grandfather) commonly look this way in the Jim Crow South.
Good to see you and hope to see you soon. Peace~
Hello my friend. :)Yes, history has been my passion for years. I WILL continue to catalog it. Thanks.
lol! Yes it should. I wanted to get a picture of it before someone decided to tear it all down. I have a picture of my great-grandmother's house as well.
Cheers!
Yes, it is a world away from where I am now. Thanks for stopping in. Peace~
I posted some photos on my blog! I'd like you to take a look at them with your photographer's eye!
Thanks! =)
I'll be over.
