The First Huff School

1890-1900

Several children play in front of the school while four women in long dresses wearing hats look on--one in the doorway, one under the window on the right, and two more near the right edge of the building. A bicycle leans against the fence in the lower left center. At the left of the photo in the distance a few tombstones can just be seen in an area that would eventually become Fairplains Cemetery.
