Old Twin Hills school building ends disastrously

What can one do if he finds at one morning that the local historic building has been burnt to the ground? He can cry in despair only since the destruction of such a building signifies the end of history along with the reminiscences of the past. The same situation is found these days at Twin Hills in Oklahoma, due to the destruction of an almost 100-year-old elementary school building by an early morning fire on Friday. The state of Oklahoma is located in the South Central region of the United States of America and is the 28th most populous and 20th-largest state in the country.

According to information, the burnt schoolhouse was part of the Twin Hills Elementary School campus and it used to provide housing for students from prekindergarten through second grade. What’s more, the building happened to be the original schoolhouse of the community and was on the verge of celebrating its own hundredth anniversary. How did the building look like? Well, it was quite impressive and used to boast of its native brown sandstone made designs. On the other hand the archaic schoolhouse was 200 feet long and about 50 feet wide.

Well, the school district has four newer buildings along with a gymnasium and nearly 300 students are enrolled in the district. But none of them can match the glamour of the old building and this is stated not only by the local people but by the bystanders also. But all were destroyed by the fire that started at 7:30 a.m in the vacant building. There were no students or staff members at the school on account of spring break.

This was the main reason for which preventive measures could not be taken as soon as possible. Moreover, Twin Hills, has its own problems, being a rural community about 30 miles west of Muskogee and 30 miles south of Tulsa. The real reason of the fire is to be found out yet but there are speculations that the outbreak happened in the office of the Principal.
