Hartzell's School - East Texas, PA, USA - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

This former school is built in the standard design of the early 1900s, based upon Pennsylvania State patterns for country schools. The design was intended for local municipalities to be able to construct the schoolhouses affordably as the design was standardized and did not require the costs of individual design of each school. There were slightly changes from the "State" design, but they were minor.

As the early 1900s community of Minesite was rather bustling, this was a two room school house. When operating, this was a two room school house, with original classes held in Pennsylvania Dutch (a dialect of German that was present in the German settled areas of southeastern Pennsylvania). After 1911, instruction was converted entirely to English. The original construction is brick.

This old school is currently a private residence, which is the current form of most of these Lower Macungie Township schools.
