Elementary School Series 4

A picture taken from a Rod Riggs glass plate inside the Mountain View School in Burrough Valley. Inside pictures were very rare because of light problems and what made this one possible was the light coming in from the windows. Note the wood stove for heat. A flaw in the stove flue caused this building to burn down. Note the gas lamps. These could be lowered to clean, fuel, and light, and then were raised. Check the sun shining through the teacher's beard. Note the students trying to act normal.
