Moose, that must be a really out of the way place! All the schoolhouses in
Indiana were closed by the early 1960s, and most had closed earlier.
Those in your photo are wooden buildings, which is something I have never seen
in northeast Indiana. All of them here are brick, and most were seemingly built
from the same plans, with only minor variations.

We pass three school houses of that sort of vintage regularly. The big
difference is that all three are still active
schoolhouses.
The original Nicasio School building, 1871, is beautiful, but possibly
misleading, as it's now school offices. The
current classrooms are next to it.

Lincoln Elementary, 1872, is still an active simple school, out in rural
country.

Laguna Elementary School, is positively modern, 1905, and has had a second
classroom added!
