Holly Springs

There are a few places in Arkansas called Holly Springs, but there is one tiny community in the Ozark foothills that shares the name (it is near the other big cities of Springfield and Mallet Town). There is a small one-room school here, which looks to have been abandoned for quite some time. The building sits along a dirt road, which was flanked by a thick layer of tall wildflowers.



I wasn't able to find much information about the school online, but I can state with some certainty that it was constructed in 1938 by the WPA. I know that because the WPA was kind enough to put the date on the side of the building.



The school is constructed with stone, in a style that seems to have been perfected by the WPA. It's no surprise that it's still standing despite being abandoned for quite sometime.



And one last shot - a look inside the building, which was the home to numerous wasp nests (they were not taking a summer vacation from this school).
