The top is reddish stained or milk paint, with two large skylight windows to peek through. Scalloped corbels, molding and front crest...it has a tiny movement, so if desired you could poke a bit of glue in the line.

Architectural trim work with a flag pole.Signed on base in red but only a few letters are decipherable....I think it starts with a 'B'Architecture elements feature a basic prairie style with country desks and blackboards. Cove arches. Carved details into wood.It displays beautifully ~! Not perfect new but beautifully old ~!It lasted through the Depression era with maintenance issues of old paint, dirt, a back side small window crack, a front door requires remount...hinges are present so they just need to be poked into their slots, a front porch right sliver edge loss and left stair rail loss, interior student-desk chips, and the flag pole is broken at the base; an early rough break there, as well as a rough tip area too, so it may or may not be the complete length. Its entire structure can easily be glued back, as well as have a flag made. If you examine the photos, you can see its condition and I can send you a close up photo.
