| Additional Information: | Joint School District No. 1 replaced an existing log school in 1855 with a brick schoolhouse outside Busseyville that was shared with the Town of Albion in neighboring Dane County. In 1889, the schoolhouse was improved with a porch, new brickwork, and a stove. The Busseyville School was closed in the mid-twentieth century, and the district was consolidated with the Fort Atkinson and Cambridge school districts. The building was subsequently sold and now serves as a private residence. SPINDLED PORCH |
