A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of
schoolhouses and/or schoolchildren.
Caption: "Deturk's School House."
Handwritten note on the other side (no address, stamp, or postmark): "
Stanley E. Romich [1905-1985]. Spend his first School days at this school. Age 8. Dec. 31, 1913."
This
one-room schoolhouse is still standing along Limekiln Road near Douglassville, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The building is now a private residence with a room added to the front. The stucco covering has been removed, and the underlying stone construction is now visible.
This is a divided-back real photo postcard with a Cyko stamp box ("Cyko - Place Postage Stamp Here") printed on the back. This stamp box design was in use between 1907 and the 1920s.
