Just out of sight would be the hollow where the school was, on the right. Just about 2 miles down the road is Neon Junction.     From: emma strange miller @ 64.12.117.16 (Sun 18 Feb 2007 11:44:39 AM EST) could you tell me where this picture is? it looks so famiuler to me, thanks,     From: Visitor @ 74.234.130.136 (Sun 12 Oct 2008 04:56:09 PM EDT) Wow, our town has changed!     From: Goebel & Sherry Craft @ 74.131.95.193 (Mon 16 Feb 2009 12:32:01 PM EST) We grew up in Jenkins and wouldn't trade it for the world.

The post office, barbershop and union hall were just to the right across the little bridge. Building on the right is the 'big' store, then the meat market, 'rec' building and a small Baptist church. Between the two story house on the left and the three story bording house is Chopping Branch where I lived in the 40's and some of 50's. Great photo and wonderful web site. Dave S.     From: David R.

I was born just down from the mine on Band Mill hill and later moved to a big house on the bottom when dad became foreman.

Hidden by the trees on the right is where the home Ross Aker, M.D. was built in the early 60s(?). The view is Looking towards Neon. On the left is the road that leads across the hill over into Haymond.     From: valricocat1@mac.com @ 97.96.1.134 (Fri 22 May 2009 05:55:22 PM EDT) My name is Gary Wright,I came home from Viet Nam in 1971 and found this school would be sold to the highest bidder.Having a wife and 3 kids I bid $2229.99 for this building and was the high bidder.We lived in the two front rooms for several years. The front four rooms were built in 1912 and this addition was being done by the WPA. They did a great job.I have a couple of other pictures during the 1912 construction. From: chmiriga @ 71.120.147.184 (Tue 26 May 2009 02:26:26 PM EDT) Is this the back of the building? I remember wide steps in front. From: Danny Wright @ 24.173.143.46 (Tue 26 May 2009 02:52:34 PM EDT) For yall that don't know, I'm Gary's youngest son. That schoolhouse scared the snot out of me when we lived there when I was little. I didn't learn to appreciate it's history until we moved away and we visited as I got older. In the picture you can see the basement windows which were always dirty so you couldn't really see what was in there. Just dark spooky shapes that made my imagination run wild. One thing I loved though, was the blackberry bushes in the back and catching tadpoles and crawdaddies in the stream. I wish life were that simple again. It's a crying shame they knocked the schoolhouse down. From: Danny Wright @ 24.173.143.46 (Tue 26 May 2009 03:01:03 PM EDT) There was an old Coke machine in the hallway. Back when everything was glass bottles. Michele and I would sit on the steps and wait for the man to come fill it. We were so cute, he'd give us each a Coke to drink. Actually, I think I always got a grape Nehi. From: Gary Wright @ 97.96.1.134 (Tue 26 May 2009 03:14:31 PM EDT) YES MICHELE THIS IS FROM THE SERVICE ROAD LOOKING FROM CANNEL CITY ROW.THE HIGHWAY IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE PICTURE AND THE STEPS WERE THERE IN FRONT.THIS ADDITION WAS IN 1935 I THINK.THERE ALSO WAS A FIRE ESCAPE ADDED TO THE BACK SIDE.THE TWO LARGE BASEMENT WINDOWS ARE IN WHAT WAS THE GIRLS BATHROOMS.THIS OLD WOOD BUILDING SURE MADE SOME SCARY SOUNDS AT NIGHT- IT ALSO DIDN'T HELP THAT A BULLET HOLE WAS STILL IN ONE OF THE DOORS UPSTAIRS WHERE SOME MAN WAS KILLED ONE HALLOWEEN .     From: Larry Phillips - Neon, KY @ 98.23.6.225 (Mon 16 Feb 2009 08:55:39 PM EST) I think this is looking upstream, not too far to the Fleming Depot.     Album: Various Counties [view comments for this nested album]   Album: Hazard [view comments for this nested album]  Gallery: Gallery    Album: Miscellaneous    Album: Kentucky Places   Powered by Gallery v1
