Sekolah Lama




Zion Schoolhouse, School Section No. 12, York Township, was built in 1869 by the farming families of L'Amaroux. Several generations of these families attended the school until its closure in 1955. Constructed of local red brick, it has subtle decorative details in yellow brick. The north-south orientation with three large nine-over-nine sash windows on the east and west sides allows for a remarkably bright, naturally-lit interior. The Schoolhouse, one of hundreds that used to dot the Ontario landscape, serves as a reminder of our rural past.






Sekolah lama ni adalah sebahagian drp bangunan yang boleh dilawati di dalam program Doors Open Toronto. Tak jauh dari rumah . Teringat cerita Little House On The Prairie.

bangunan tu mengingatkan saya kepada filem CHILDREN OF THE CORN.. filem yang diadaptasi daripada novel karya novelis thriller terkemuka iaitu Stephen King..

PS-ya..saya juga bukan sekadar membaca novel jawa..
