Times Are A Changing (Thankfully)



The other day - between the snow - when roaming the streets I passed this place and thought, really?!...

Yes, really:



Here is where the girls entered their part of school and right next door:



Now I wonder... did they take the breaks together? Reckon rather not.
It says nothing on their history-site.
Must´ve been odd times, back in 1885.

These days it´s still a school:



With girls and boys in one room but from which door? :-)

You have wonderful eyes to catch this. And how intriguing. I can see where that happened once but I hope that division is a thing of the past!

Thanks for coming over to Marmelade Gypsy! I smiled when I read your profile. Since 1996, my partner Rick and I have lived in separate spaces, two blocks apart. We spend weekends together as you and yours did, and often we see each other in the week. His boys refer to me as their stepmom, even though we aren't married. We both know if we ever lived in the same space our different styles would probably drive us both a little crazy! But it sounds as though you two have found the way to make it work. Good for you!

Dora - and Jeanie: I do hope those times are over for all soon, too!

And Jeanie... I left a comment concerning your profile at your place too - smiles included!

Well that's a first Iris! I wonder if they attended separate classes also. I know back then boys were considered much smarter than girls... Pfffft! How wrong they were 😀

That´s very true, Grace -in my case, though... mathematics, I´m a typical "girl" there ;-)
