The James School

A historical one-room school house in Presque Isle, Maine. Built in 1917, the James School was used as a one-room schoolhouse until 1948.

The building was later used as a non-denominational church by the Hillside Gospel Mission until the early 1970s. With the sun shining brightly through the southern "wall of windows", the bell would ring from the belfry calling local children to school and worship. Many local people were either teachers or students. Sadly, for over 20 years, the school stood vacant and fell into disrepair...
