[Old] Davie School

Yesterday mom and I went to check out Davie School and take photos for Wikipedia. That sounds kind of weird and really official all at the same time. Wikipedia is having a photo contest as a way to get updated photos for their National Register of Historic Places pages and I took that as an excuse to visit.

This classroom has been restored to the way it looked in the 1920s, complete with the original slate chalkboard. They have no idea how long the writing has been on there.

There were taxedermied animals galore, which made me think of the Bloggess.

They also have three historic houses on the property: the Viele House, the Walsh House, and the Pioneer House. (Technically, it's the Walsh-Osterhoudt house.)

I saved the shot I came for until last to give the sun time to come out.

This is the final shot I ended up submitting to Wikipedia. I hope they choose it for the entry.
