Old Pool Schoolhouse, corner of Route 22 and Stone Road (dead end), across from Pool Road, Theresa area.
Roof partially fallen in, windows and doors boarded up. Thanks to Gerald D. for the suggestion and location.
Update 02/07/11, the building continues to fall down:

Update 5/29/11, this appears to have been burned down.

Roberta D. C-E writes "My grandmother Mabel Sophronia DeYoung Calhoun taught at the Pool School in 1913 before she went to nursing school. I have photos of the school back then with her students. She also had a number of photos of the Old Stone House back behind the school, taken c. 1910-1916. I don't know if she boarded there in the winter? Someone in the area put together a keepsake of the school including her photo, a list of her students, and some of the poems and readings they used back then. It was given to Gerald D., who gave it to me. I took some photos of this building in 1999 and it had not yet started to collapse. More of it disappears each year."

Roberta also sent some pictures from August of 1999 before the building started to collapse;

Another view, somewhat unique design but mostly hidden
Hard to get a good shot of this, it looks like the land it is on is being sold and developed.

David S. writes "This cottage was supposedly moved there from an island in the mid 1900's. No one lived in it since at least 1960. It was torn down in 2008 and is now a vacant lot."

Looks like it is either being worked on or torn apart.

David S. writes "This house was dismantled by some Amish men in 2008."

Burned out stone house on Scotch Settlement Road, St. Lawrence County

Taken on 04/15/08
Another angle

Research done by 'Briarscratch': "The burned down stone house at the intersection of Lockie Rd and Scotch Settlement road was actually built by Andrew Lockie as the first schoolhouse supporting the Scottish immigrants in that area.
It was actually inhabited until about 5 years ago when it burned.
Back then, the first thing the settlers did was clear the land and make potash from all the burned brush and lumber. Often, in addition to a milk cow or two, the Scot settlers raised sheep - something they were familiar with and because of the wool they provided. There was also a lot of haying going on in support of the local industries - glass in Redwood, mining all around the area, charcoal making and for the foundries."

Old church, Route 26 near Deer River/Denmark
Webmaster Update 07/09/09: This has been demolished.

Suggested by the UltraRev, and other visitors.

Hope M. of Perceptionphotography.biz writes: 'I found that this is Deer River School Town of Denmark.'

RollingMarch writes "Unfortunately, this old church was demolished and a foundation has been put in behind where it stood. Apparently, someone is putting in a house there."

Bernard Fox writes "My great great grandmother and grandfather (Calista Florida and Michael McEvoy) were married at Deer River in 1850. This may have been the church. How many churches were there in Deer River in 1850?"
