I I guess I’m officially old, when I think of a “vintage school”, I think of a one room school house lol. But as long as it’s the subject at hand, schools like the one you are looking at , were built to replace all the one room school houses, that started closing at the end of the 1950’s and early 1960’s. For example, Weld County in Colorado had approximately 110 school districts, in other words, over 100 little school houses were scattered about . My older friend attended one called “The Prairie Queen” in the early 1960’s , and then it closed & country kids were bussed to the town schools. Sadly the Prairie Queen was razed. The teachers of those school usually stayed with a farm family or in a tiny house called a “teachereage” right next to the school.
In Belmont, NC there is an old elementary school converted to condos. But left structurally exactly like the elementary school.
