Greenville School, mostly collapsed

Title

Greenville School, mostly 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 to the mid-to-late 1990s, the walls of the structure have mostly collapsed, leaving the roof and attic mostly intact. One wall is held up by four logs. Debris and metal basins can be seen inside the house, reflecting the structure's recent use as a storage shed. A wheelbarrow is in front of the structure. A stove and stacks of tires are outside one side of the house.
