Brick schoolhouse in rural Indiana. Photograph by Christopher Crawford

abandoned brick one room schoolhouse in allen county, indiana near the town of besancon and east of new haven. the road splits to go around the front and back of the building.

Jefferson Township #5 Center School

This schoolhouse is in Besancon, Indiana just east of New Haven on old US 30. I photographed a wedding at a church down the street from it and stopped after the wedding to photograph the church at twilight. This image was the first photograph that I ever sold from a gallery exhibit. It sold in 1998 at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, which had included twelve of my photographs in a four person exhibit in the Sales & Rental Gallery.

I have six photographs of this place online. See the next photograph of the one room school at Besancon.
