Gilliland School

Classes were held here until sometime in the 1960's for elementary school and until sometime in the 1940's for high school. It is our understanding that the building has been sold and is to be torn down for the hand cut stone. I do hope that the floor boards and possibly some of the other lumber will also be saved. It is sad to see a nice building abandoned this way.
