Formerly Altamont Jr. High, from about the 1940s to 1980s..

It looks like an old school to me rather than a house. Maybe not. The interior has been gutted (floor planks on the wagon) and it appears this was moved from another location. Update 1/18/2018: While browsing on Google Earth, I saw a Schoolhouse Road a few miles from this location, near those mountains in the distance. No schoolhouse was visible there that I could see.

This was a school in the 1920s or 30s, then a new one was built closer to town. At the time, this would have been the "country school" for farm kids. Later it was used as school district offices and storage, but has been abandoned for many years. There are still a lot of maintenance and office supplies inside, moldering away. I suppose it will be torn down at some point, but I wish the owner (probably the county) would leave it alone or restore it. As everywhere else - no money for that. Another version:

It was interesting to see how this corner was constructed, hollow, with several layers of bricks. There were no pipes or wires inside it, so would that be for added strength? It's a shame to see a nice old building like this crumble away, but there are so many like it...
