Greenville School, being used as a storage shed

Title

Greenville School, being used as a storage shed

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. At the time that this photograph was taken, possibly in the late 1980s-1990, the structure was still standing but was in poor condition and was beginning to lean. It was being used for storage, with many old refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances stacked on its porch. More appliances are in front of the building to the left.
