Photo from Doran studio, Tulare CA. (circa 1895).

 Tipton's  grammar school, circa 1917.    The image was scanned from a glass slide.   This is the only photo I've seen of this school.  I assume that this was a school in Tipton CA (and not in Tipton, Indiana or Iowa) because it is built in the Mission Revival style, and because the sign above the school's entrance says "1874  TIPTON SCHOOL 19--" (The second year is cut off by the angle of the building).  e.g.   Mission Revival was a popular architecture style for schools in central California from around 1905  to 1925.   Tipton's first school was founded in 1874.
(Update 4/26/15) After talking to several long-term residence of Tipton (via Facebook),  I have serious doubts about this school being in Tipton CA.  I will leave this image here, for now, until I have a more definitive answer.
(Update 2/11/19) I've just seen a photo postcard image of this same school.   It's identified on the photo itself as "Tipton School" and it is postmarked from Tipton, California.   The sender of the card gives his location as "Tipton, Calif.",  and calls it "our school bldg".   The card is postmarked November 21, 1915.    
I had looked extensively for images of this school, even searching for old school photos in out-of-state towns and counties named "Tipton".        I'm finding that old images of school buildings are some of the hardest things to identify.    It's possible that this school didn't last long.  If you look closely at the image above, there are signs that it was falling into disrepair.    Perhaps it wasn't constructed very well.
(Added 3/2/19)  I've just received the Tipton School postcard, mentioned above.   Here it is:

This is a small portrait of two girls.   From the studio of  E. M. Davidson, Visalia, CA (circa 1893).

On the back of this photograph someone has written "Gram Dollner".
