Colorado Schools In The Early 1900s May Shock You. They're So Different.

Recently, my high school was completely remodeled into a beautiful, two-story modern day learning facility that looks nothing like it did when I was a student. Seeing the school change so drastically made my jaw drop, but seeing these 15 schools from the early 1900s was even more of a shock. See the difference for yourself:

1. "Students at a Leadville school"

2. The Estes Park Schoolhouse in 1912
