Note: When the above picture was posted on 12 August 2016, it was identified as the Geise School. However, it has since been determined that the photo was incorrectly identified. The e-mail comment received on 19 October 2018 indicated the following:
I just wanted to let you know that according to my father, Richard Sitlinger, son of Robert Sitlinger and Lillian Sitlinger that the red brick photo listed on Lykens Valley web page as the Geise school is not correct. The photo is of a red brick school house and is listed as circa 1980’s but my dad says the well head and basement entrance is in the wrong place. Perhaps it is the Salada school? My grandparents changed the outside of the school building soon after they purchased in in 1956. And all of the boys assisted with the work, my dad being the youngest son.
Can any reader correctly identify the school? It is not the Salada School, which does not have the brick column/protrusions (pilasters) at the corners and between the windows. See: Salada School.
The post, as previously published is presented below.
