Another Clue!

School House, c. 1889-1893 

Photograph courtesy of the Placer County Museums 

This is a second photograph of the teacher and students we published two weeks ago. The first photograph was of the interior of the school house while this photograph shows the exterior of the building itself.

We received two responses to our query for the interior photograph: Where was the photograph taken? One person thought it was a school house in Ophir while another thought it was the original Dutch Flat school house.

The building itself is very similar to other school houses of the 19th century so determining which school house it is will require detailed analysis. In our collection, we have yet to find any other school house with the exact features as this one.

If you think you know which school house this is, please let us know by calling 530-889-6500.
