I took a drive after work one day last week and stopped by a couple ruins I had wanted to see up close.
I would love to find who the owner is and work out a deal for the old brick.
This is your typical one room schoolhouse. Built back in the 1880s.
The bricks are not to bad for being made on site in a clamp kiln.
The front door was replaced with a large barn door at one point by a local farmer. But often the loads on the brick wall cant take the wide span. Over the years the wall has crumbled some.
This was an old two story farmhouse. Its hard to see from the road. Few know its even there. Thats a good thing because no kids have put graffiti on it.

Here are a few updated photos of the farmhouse ruins I thought you may enjoy. Dated 12-1-09
I really like what you do in your past time. That is very interesting.
