Bichet One-Room School House, Kansas Poster

Bichet One-Room School House, Kansas Poster

A venerable cottonwood tree casts a shadow across the Bichet School in Autumn. How small the tree must have been when students were attending this now abandoned school in eastern Kansas. It still stands because of its sturdy construction. In the back lawn of the school are two stone outhouses. The Bichet School was built in 1896 to educate children from a French-speaking near Florence, Kansas. The school continued to serve the community until 1946 when it closed because of low enrolment. The last class had two students. The Bichet School's architecture is an excellent example of the typical one-room midwestern stone school built during the late 1800s. The builder, Oscar Johnson, who was a well known stonemason and artisan, left examples of his decorative work on the quoins, cornices, lintels, the intricate arch stone where the date and "District 34" appears, the round decorative window and the bell tower. He was foreman for a rock quarry which yielded magnesium limestone. The rock was cream coloured, it hardened upon exposure, was extremely durable and could be easily sawed into any shape. The school is on the National Register of Historic Places.

My Bible verse postcard, turned out excellent. I love it and have it already framed. It was so reasonably priced for something done so well. Thank you to Zazzle and the artist! I thought it looked exactly like what I ordered. Perfect.

Poster is printed clearly, good quality . Inclusive of many prints . The shipping was the problem. Box was flimsy and item got bent.. only suggestion would have been to put in a canister or mark fragile. Printing was exactly as shown

I am a fan of Ravens and needed to have a poster of my favourite bird. The image quality is sharp.
