The Lithonia schoolhouse

Georgia · USA · Cemetery

Built around 1865 on Stephenson Road, across from the quarry, and now a private house. Many of the children who went there are buried two hundred yards.

The original schoolhouse at Lithonia, Georgia stands on Stephenson Road opposite a rock quarry, and was built around 1865. It is now a private residence.

Children are frequently seen at it.

Many of the former pupils are buried in an old church cemetery about two hundred yards away, and one of them was eight years old.

That distance is the detail that makes this entry work. The children who went to this school and the children buried down the road are largely the same children, and anyone standing in the garden of the house is standing where they played.

Lithonia was a granite town. The quarries across the road supplied stone for streets and buildings across the south, and the work killed and maimed men steadily.

The schoolhouse is a private home and should be left alone.
