From when we lived in Redland, FL
This school has an interesting place in history, as it "opened in 1916, it consolidated seven one-room schoolhouses in the area and was at the time the second largest rural consolidated school in the country." wikipedia
The structure was in bad shape after Hurricane Andrew hit, and in 2006 when I photographed it. It was funded for restoration, but the sad thing about that area of Florida is the hurricanes! Mother Nature takes it all away down there. I have lived in and out of the area since the early 80s and have seen the landscape change every few years. The last hits we took from H. Wilma than a few weeks later, H. Katrina, made me decide once and for all to never live there again.
