Some Fallon schools over the years

The Harmon School, circa 2003. There has been some patching done, although the building is not in the greatest shape. Now on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is still used.

A shot through one of Harmon School's broken windows shows some original desks.

When black boards were black. Harmon School.

Note on the photo refers (I think) to the fact that the trees you see grew from fenceposts- just another demonstation of that fertile Fallon soil. The fountain- installed in 1914 by the "Draper Self-Culture Club" was removed in 1930 when the street was finally paved.
