Old one room schoolhouses find new life as dwellings
Rural Grundy County once had over 50 one room school buildings 20 years ago but today about half remain as structures not used for education. At least 23 have become homes and 25 serve farm storage with others repurposed or torn down. Reorganization of districts began over 45 years ago, reducing districts to five with only Pleas View F as a remaining rural elementary school.
