The Jefferson Township Center School has been one of my favorite subjects, which I have returned to many times over the last 20 years. It is located at Besancon; a crossroads with two cemeteries, a few houses, a Catholic church, and this abandoned one-room schoolhouse on Lincoln Highway (Old US-30) in the eastern part of Allen County, Indiana.
The road actually splits to go around the front and back of the schoolhouse! Back in the late 1990s, there was an old woman living in the house across the street from the schoolhouse (behind where I stood to make my photograph) who told me that she owned the schoolhouse, which her own mother had attended as a child in the early 20th Century. The schoolhouse was built in 1898.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
