History of Object:
An original drawing of a one-story two-room school house which includes the main facade and the interior, consisting of two classrooms, and porch. We do not presently know whether the building was ever constructed or whether this was a teaching tool. The drawing displays a sign stating, ‘Columbus Public School.’ Attributed to Henry Meyers, based on the size of the school this would be an early design. Presumably found at the Meyers House and brought to the museum for cataloging.
