Station One School
Station One School is a former school located in the hamlet of Chaires, Leon County, Florida. The school was founded because the population of eastern Leon County was growing and there was no school closer than Tallahassee, away. The first mention of the school is in the 1870 school board minutes. It was constructed for white students only. In 1928, it was deemed "no longer suitable for the needs of the district". The school building had deteriorated and required a new roof. It did not have indoor plumbing and regularly flooded when there were heavy rains. Most importantly, the school was simply too small for the growing number of students. The county built a new school, Chaires School, with ”a coal heater, electricity, and a fresh well", as well as new desks and chairs. This school survives in 2018 as the Chaires Elementary School. Although one newspaper report stated that the school closed in 1929 when the white students moved to The Chaires School, Station One School contin ...

Former School Buildings In The United States
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...
