COVERED BRIDGES AND COURT HOUSES
Since the culture of the one room school houses was during the late 1800s and early 1900s, I decided to also put on this blog the the relevant architecture that the school children would have been directly exposed to. Which would be the covered bridges that the children would have actually crossed, and the county court houses that they would have certainly seen on their trip into town.

SHAFFER SCHOOL/MONTGOMERY COUNTY
GERMAN TOWNSHIP #13
The builder left a signature in a way, this was done only on the back of the school. Every 7th row he placed the bricks with the ends out instead of the side out.
