A one-story wood frame school with a lightning rod or flagpole on the bell tower. A hand water pump is near the front entrance, and a tire swing is wrapped high around a pole in the yard directly in front of the entrance. Outhouses are behind the school on the left and right, and cornfields are in the distance.
