Photo 34-GAU-26

Comments

Viola School in Viola Township. Built in 1922 and it served in the beginning, as kindergarten through high school. I attended Viola from 5th grade through 8th grade which was the highest grade level in 1963 at which time I went to high school in Audubon in the Fall of 1963. My dad graduated from high school at Viola in 1935. A couple of years or so ago, the school was demolished, along with the house, which had been burned earlier.

Hi Steve,
It's always interesting to hear stories from people who have a personal connection to the locations in our collection. What do you remember about the building or the surrounding area in the late 70s?
