Description
Bygone Days - Old Schoolhouse by HH Photography of Florida.
The old, abandoned and decaying Island View Schoolhouse sits idle in this grassy field in the rural Boyd’s Creek area of eastern Tennessee. The bell still hangs in the tower and I can imagine it’s ring heralding the start of the school day or calling the children in from play. What stories this old place could tell. I’ve grown very fond of this old relic over the years and it’s why we return to visit, year after year.
School days, school days,
Dear old Golden Rule days,
'Readin and 'riting and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick
You were my gal in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids.
~ Will Cobb and Gus Edwards

Wonderful capture, Helen. Being a teacher myself I can certainly appreciate this work. If the walls of this old schoolhouse could talk, I am sure there would be fascinating stories told. F/L/T/G+/P
