July 14, 1939 - Browne school aerial view

I've been unable to track down a photo during the years the Browne school was operating as a rural schoolhouse.    I did find a few aerial photos.   The first was taken July 14, 1939.   The Browne school is in the middle of the sheet on the first vertical line which represents University Road.


Here is a close-up with the Browne school at the arrow.


This isn't a very clear photo but I can make out a few notable structures.


I'm not 100% certain the building marked "Coal shed" is correct.    It is possible the coal shed was closer to the school building and is hidden under the trees.     By the time the school was converted into a residence, the coal shed was pushed next to the northern end of the building and used as a utility room.


If anyone has photos or knows of someone that has photos of the Browne school between its construction in the late 1860's through the 1960's, please let me know in the comments.
