Photographer: Courtesy of the Eastern Fresno County Museum
Taken: Circa 1921
Caption: Mechanicsville School
Additional Description: It is commonly agreed by local hsitorians that this was the roughest built school in Fresno County. Simple wood slats, no insulation, light was visible through the walls during the daytime and wind whipped through during winter. The building was moved to the top of the hill above Humphrey Station after it was closed in 1926 and was forgotten. Hikers later found it crumpled into a decaying pile of wood. Nothing remains of it today.
