Abandoned Iowa Schools and churches

Nicole Renaud

Book - 2021

"Have you ever wondered why there are so many abandoned schools and churches? The consolidation of districts, a lack of members, a declining community, a desire for new structures--the list of reasons is endless. The intrigue of finding abandoned places is strong, but schools and churches have become a favorite thing to photograph. Nicole Renaud has wandered all over Iowa to capture a chunk of abandoned schools and churches. Some are well preserved and maintained and others are crumbling, such as Apollo School, Vennard College, and Loucks Grove Church. All of them have some amazing memories inside their walls. This book covers over thirty schools and churches that once were" --
