Here’s a piece of good news: the old Hanover Lutheran School, built in 1924 and close to being demolished, has been given new life. Less than two months ago, the congregation considered razing the one-room schoolhouse rather than spending money to bring it up to city codes.
The church voted 31-12 to use $10,000 in donations to make repairs and keep it open as a heritage museum, meeting place and workshop for students who want to see what school was like in the old days.
Here’s a link to a July 10, 2012, Missourian story about the renovation.
I wish someone would step up to save the old Kage School. It was looking in pretty sad shape when I shot it in the spring of 2010.
