The School House

 
My idea of what The School House looks like, but with another set of windows on both sides of the central column.

Here is the description from Chapter 9 - The brick school was built in the Second Empire Architectural Style and was designed to be imposing and impressive and over a hundred years later, it still succeeded.  A center column jutted ten feet out from the rest of the structure with a portico over the front door before it raised four stories tall.  The remaining structure was three stories high with an iron railing that ran along the edge of the slate mansard roof.  Two columns of windows were located on both sides of the center column and matching dormer windows were located in the mansard roof.

             

Pyracantha        

                                     

The thorny evergreen shrub was planted in 1872, the year after the eight foot high perimeter wall was completed.  It has been maintained to a height of 4' with a width of 14' along the inner and outer perimeter of the brick wall.  It is often used as a hedge because of its thick almost impenetrable barrier and thick thorny stems.

 

The Safe Room

The door to the safe room is hidden in the brick wall of the basement behind the boiler.  Once the door is closed you can't tell it is there since the seams are hidden in the mortar joints.

The bunks were modeled after The Greenbrier, a Cold War era bomb shelter hidden in the mountains of West Virginia.
