First school house on Gore Creek, built between 1886 and 1888. Outhouse at right of school building. Photo taken about 1907. Rhoda Rockwood's father, John Wesley Phillips, framed the building and then went to the County school board for help to complete the project. The County provided roofing, doors and window. Bill Webb, a school board member, helped with the construction, as did other people moving into the valley. --Rhoda Rockwood
