Beaverdam School #2, built in 1934. Closed and currently an antique shop.

The older 1908 school is visible as well

I've been looking for the location of the 1908 School building for a couple of years (not too keenly however, just with postcards and stuff), as OldOhioSchools said its location is unknown. I had suspicions it was there because of the sidewalk's location and gravel path, but I'm so glad to have confirmation.

Ayup, if you go to this link and enter Beaverdam OH it has aerial views of the town going back to 1956.

Mixdenny, many thanks. I’m working on mapping all school buildings in Ohio (disregarding one room buildings). I have ~500 done but historical imagery only goes so far back. That website is perfect, I’ve been using this, topi maps, and Google earth pro which generally only goes back to 1985.

Go to this ODOT link and download the KML file. It has very high resolution images of Ohio back to the 1940s. They are not continuous as they were taken to support ODOT projects but I have found a lot of stuff in them.
