{"product_id":"9780472032181","title":"Michigan One-Room Schoolhouses","description":"\u003cp\u003eNostalgic reminders of a time now past, one-room schoolhouses are deeply embedded in our heritage. Decades after their original purpose and inhabitants have vanished, they dot the rural landscape in all conditions, from neglected and near collapse to handsomely renovated places repurposed into a new existence as living quarters. Today no matter their state they stand as miniature gems of nineteenth-century American history as well as charming examples of rural architecture—-above all, things to be treasured and preserved. Mary Keithan's \u003ci\u003eMichigan One-Room Schoolhouses\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautifully illustrated chronicle that details nearly a hundred of the state's early schoolhouses. Together with information about each schoolhouse's architecture and history, including interviews with former students and teachers, Keithan's photographs bring these structures back to life and assure their place in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Keithan is a professional photographer living in Ray, Michigan.
