The Bloomington School was last used in the 1940s and then stood empty for the next forty years before collapsing in November of 1986.  This photo was taken in 1981 at the time a delegation from the Ames Heritage Assn. (now Ames Historical Society) had secured the permission of Olson family who own the farm where old school was situated to remove the wainscoting for use in the restoration of the Hoggatt School on the grounds of Meeker Elementary in Ames.  Rodney Fox, who made arrangements for removal of the wainscoting, is pictured.
