Remarks: The Ponsford elevations are almost identical except for the cornice treatment. The school fell into disuse when students began to be bussed to other schools. For a while it was used as a community center.The foundations remain, but as we were advised that rattlesnakes had been seen in the area recently, we declined to make a close inspection.
