Jennie Darlington used an upstairs room in her home to run a private school for children of local farm families. The school room was located upstairs on the right end of the building pictured here. The children would leave their coats in the room in the lower level and access the school room through a winder staircase.
The school students pictured attended Lindencrest, the private school run by Jennie Darlington on the Darlington farm on the southwest corner of Street Road and Pocopson Road at Pocopson. The photo was taken about 1908.
