Apparently the aerial technology of the 1970's was a huge improvement over that of two years prior.
This is the clearest photo I have encountered of the Browne school which was taken in 1971. The school had been converted into a residence after the school district closed the school and sold the property.
The building behind the coal shed was a garage, most likely built sometime after Joseph Faivre Jr purchased the Browne school from the school district in 1953. Behind the garage is another structure, a shed that was obtained by the Finnestad family several years after moving into the home in 1962.
The structure attached to the right side of the Browne school was a porch added by the Finnestad family a few years before this photo was taken.
The label 'Outhouse' was the school's original out building, used as a bathroom for the Browne school students. By 1971 all that was left was the concrete foundation and is hidden in the trees in this photo.
