Just when we think we've seen every old photo of the Bluffton-Pandora Swiss community a new "old" one comes into view. Chris Collins provided this photo to The Icon.
Viewers need to understand that the county school houses between Bluffton and Pandora sometimes had as many as three names. First, the school house had a number, next the school house often carried the name of the farm where the building was located. Finally, unique to this community, schools were named after trees planted in their lawn.
This is a photo of the "Beech Tree" school. It is no longer standing.

Surely, those are the gentlemen who built the school or planted the tree, not the students? A handsome building and the beech tree - quite a large one already.
I enjoy greatly the old photos you offer - what a rich collection there seems to be in Bluffton!
Thanks!
