I promised a sneak peek of the inside of the school and here it is. The windows are encased with the original trim. The wainscoting is original and the floor is the original flooring put in during the late 1940's. The walls have been updated to drywall instead of laths and plaster, but the texture of the walls has been made to look and feel like plaster walls. It really looks like the school my Mother remembers. I have arranged the pictures to show before the renovation and after the work completed up to this point.
We still need to finish the baseboard, the chalk board, the lighting, and the details of the school that will bring the school even closer to its original look. We are planning a Nickellton School Pie Supper Reunion October 15th, 2011. Save the date and begin collecting stories and memorabilia to share that day. More information to come at a later date. More stories to come after school is out.
