This dilapitated one room schoolhouse is located near Garland, Kansas.
The nearest address to the schoolhouse is 2204 Fern Road, Fort Scott, Kansas 66701
The school is located about 8.5 miles south of Fort Scott, the closest intersection is US 69 Hwy. and County Road 56. Coordinates are N 37 degrees 44.812, W 094 degrees, 42.267.
The schoolhouse is in very poor shape and surrounded by a fence.
With a zoom lens you can still see the bead board on the walls through a huge gaping hole in the side of the building. I have a phobia about looking inside empty buildings. I think it is because once when peering inside an old building, I saw a dead coyote. Traumatizing!
The bell tower has seen better days...
The sign above the door is unreadable. I would guess the school was turned into a store of some kind after it's school days were discontinued.
Bell Tower
Overgrown, but still picturesque, one room school.

On my GPS map, this shows as "Standard Schoolhouse". Not sure if that helps or not! LOL
