This schoolhouse was originally for boys only, but not long after girls could come to school. Boys and girls would sit on opposite sides of the classroom. The schoolhouses also didn't have bathrooms, instead they had an outhouse. They also didn't have power and would keep a furnace inside the schoolhouse for the winter.
