Ducor, CA.  Circa 1913.  Grammar school.
 This is a photo postcard of the "grammar school" at Ducor, CA.  Post-marked 1913.
It's architecture seems somewhat unusual. e.g.  Looking at how the windows are placed, it's difficult to tell how many stories tall it was.  i.e. Excluding the steeple, is it 2 or is it 3 stories?  And the corner of the roof just visible at the right side of the photo appears high compared to the rest of the main roof.

Here are two photo postcard views of Ducor's Baptist Church (circa 1910).
This church still stands today as the town's First Baptist Church.
