Abandoned Schoolhouse on South New Mexico 55

Not Exactly Here or There

​     Best I can figure, this abandoned school house is considered to be in the town of Center Point, but there is no town; just this school and the spot where a shack was across the street. Claunch is nearby, but it’s not in Claunch and it’s certainly not in Mountainair. The school was apparently operational in the 1940’s but, from the looks of it, probably abandoned shortly thereafter. And here it sits, watching the tourists drive by on their way to Gran Quivira.
