What did the first Pine School building look like?

Do you have memorabilia from Pine School? Please let me know, we'll add it to this page

Pine School was located at the No. Five Mine in Springfield Township. The first school, a frame building, was destroyed by fire in 1932.  It is believed that the fire was caused by an overheated furnace.  The frame building was replaced with two side-by-side buildings, one a two-room schoolhouse and the other a kindergarten.  Grace Nelson and Ebba L. Widing taught at the school.  Edna Winger was a kindergarten teacher there.
