Description
This old abandoned schoolhouse with weathered wood siding looks as if it is about to fall over; indeed, as one of my friends said, it looks as if the ladder is the only thing holding it up. I found Skeen School on a rainy, late spring day when driving on Fugate Road in the beautiful rolling farmland of the Palouse area of southeastern Washington state. I thought it was a farmhouse; but my husband was struck by the addition on the front and the wide front door and thought maybe it was a schoolhouse. It turns out that he was right. The building is now on a wheat farm and the farmer uses it to store equipment and implements in. A big thank you to Joy McAdams for finding information on this place for me.
