I went to school there. Not there no more just a field now

This is the old Franklin-Monroe Elementary School. It was built in 1929 as the Franklin Township Consolidated school. It was torn down in the past few years after the new K-12 building for the entire district was completed in nearby Pitsburg Ohio.

The original township high school was the first school on this site and sat just outside the right edge of this photo; it burned down prior to this school being built.
