THERE ARE 37 OF THE OLD ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSES ON THIS SITE. ORIGINALLY THERE
WERE AROUND 200 OF THESE SCHOOLS IN THIS COUNTY DURING THE ERA OF THEIR PRIMARY
USAGE FROM THE 1860s-1930s.
TO MAKE SURE IT TRULY WAS A ONE ROOM
SCHOOLHOUSE AT ONE TIME IN THE PAST, BEFORE ANY OF THE SCHOOLS WERE PLACED ON
THIS SITE, I VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE LOCATION THROUGH A DUPLICATE
VERIFICATION PROCESS. ALSO, EVERY HOUSE THAT IS POSTED ON THIS SITE IS COMPRISED
OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL,WHICH IS ALSO PERSONALLY VERIFIED.
ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE HAD SIDING ADDED, OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS, THEY HAVE KEPT THE
ORIGINAL STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH OF IT. EVERYTHING THAT IS POSTED IS TRULY WHAT
CONSISTS OF ALMOST ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL HOUSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO
MENTION THAT ALL OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING COPYRIGHTED. I AM
WILLING TO GIVE THE RIGHTS TO NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL PROJECTS, LIBRARIES,
SCHOOLS, HISTORICAL SOCIETIES. HOWEVER, IF MY PHOTOS ARE USED AS A PROFIT
SOURCE, I DO EXPECT COMPENSATION.

SCHOOL #2/AUGLAIZE COUNTY
JACKSON TOWNSHIP # 2
No.., this is not a one room schoolhouse, and I don't count it as such. However, it is a
classic example of the beginning of an end of the one room schoolhouse era as districts
were consolidated into bigger and newer schools.

BARN/AUGLAIZE COUNTY
NOBLE TOWNSHIP
This barn is located within a two mile radius of where five of the old schools used to sit;
certainly a lot of their students walked by this old barn on numerous occasions.
