Subject: [Leica] Jefferson Township #4 Schoolhouse

I did some showing the top of the arch, but prefer this one. The visual
tension of the broken arch emphasizes the incompleteness of the building's
life. It was abandoned because t was rendered obsolete by changes in the
way schools were operated, not because there is anything wrong with the
building, which still appears to be structurally sound.
