We are planning to move to the Stoney Batter condos in a couple months time, so I appreciate knowing the history of the immediate area. In fact, I love the Hundred very much, all the history of it and this blog is fabulous. I grew up in the Cedars, so this whole area if very special to me - even as a child, I knew it was very different and unique - it is a little gem in this locale. Thanks for responding! Now is there anything we can do about the Harmony school before it falls to the ground?!<br />MonicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-38825152647562688302012-04-27T09:58:24.893-04:002012-04-27T09:58:24.893-04:00It was not burned down.

I drove in and looked at the banisters , old glass and floor boards strewn on the ground and it was just too sad.<br />Should never have been allowed to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-81733105280152318592012-04-26T13:46:58.076-04:002012-04-26T13:46:58.076-04:00Yes, Monica, you're correct about the location...Yes, Monica, you're correct about the location. In fact, you can see one of the Stoney Batter Condo buildings behind the barn in the picture in the middle of the post. The idea of it burning down makes sense. It seemed to be in good shape as late about 1986, but was gone within 10 years. I doubt it was razed because of poor condition, and the land is still vacant. If it was abandoned -- even for a few years -- that would raise the likelyhood of it burning and the remains being cleared away.Scott Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-7133733286437100002012-04-26T10:59:03.383-04:002012-04-26T10:59:03.383-04:00The R.
