Greenville School, collapsed

Title

Greenville School, collapsed

Description

A photograph of Greenville School, which formerly stood on Greenville Road between Forest Grove and Banks, Oregon. The small schoolhouse may have been built in the 1870s. It began collapsing circa 1990, and fully collapsed within about ten years. This is one of a series of photographs that documents the structure's deterioration. In this image, which may date from the mid-to-late 1990s, the roof has fallen down along with the walls, except for one small section of wall that is being supported by four logs. The wood is all broken, splintered, and rotted. Under the collapsed roof a few metal containers are mixed in with the ruined building materials, reflecting the structure's most recent usage as a storage shed.
