Shiloh School in Wheeler County

Founded in the 1920’s and was for 1st - 12th grade. Closed around 1954 and was just an elementary school at the time it closed.
It is very hard to tell by the picture but this school included several buildings. The two buildings that you can see were classrooms. They had originally been joined in the middle by the gymnasium. The gymnasium later collapsed. Near the back of the property is a building that they called the Ag center. It’s my understanding that they trained their students for careers in the agricultural industry. This community is a very large farming area. There is a newer building that is cinder block that they used for their cafeteria in the later years.
