Robinson School

In 1937, Guy U. Robinson led his neighbors in petitioning the county for a new common school district, partly in protest of high school taxes in Strawn. Leo Ankenbauer sold two acres of land to school trustees, and craftsmen Bill Roberson and W. Proctor of Strawn completed the one-room, red brick schoolhouse in time for classes to begin in September 1937. Darker brick at the corners and around the windows and door provided some ornament to the simple vernacular structure. The school remained in use only until 1943, when the number of pupils declined to two, and it remains a unique reminder of the county's rural educational history.
