Hazy/smoky day in Blue Mountains, ORSharpstein School
Walla Walla hit its apex around the turn of the century (20th) and still has many beautiful buildings from that era. The oldest still standing school in Walla Walla is Sharpstein School, near Pioneer Park, built in 1898. It is in amazingly good condition. I now live in a state where public schools are by and large neglected due to lack of adequate funding, so it always impresses me when I see a public school elsewhere that is beautiful and in good condition. The schools we saw in Walla Walla were all in very good condition -- which is saying something about the pride Walla Walla has in the public education system.
