Abandoned Olden School

In the town of Olden, Texas, there's an abandoned school building that used to be the senior high school.  Some of the window panes are missing and the doors are locked so no one can enter, sadly.

Abandoned School Library

Today is Feb 1 and I've managed to post a photo a day for the full month of January.

Now I just have to be as dedicated for the month of February.

This appears to be the library of the abandoned school building in Putnam, Texas.  

It almost seems that one day the kids were in school in this building and the next day they were elsewhere.  

I wish I could find the back-story about this place.

Abandoned High School Building

This is the old High School Building in Putnam, Texas.  Putnam is a very small town in Callahan County, Texas.  The 2023 population was 68.  Students now attend high school in Baird, Texas.

The author of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", Larry King, came from Putnam.  

In 1919 the graduating class consisted of 3 students. 

Looking in through the front door, you can still see folding chairs and portable tables stacked in the hallway along with a large bulletin board with the school logo and 

"Go Panthers" encouragements. 

A room that must have been the library still has bookshelves with books on them. 

Even though I searched the internet for a short while, I couldn't located information about when the school closed.
