Behold the ruins of Echols School, along side US Hwy 84 in Limestone County. I can't find anything about the school or the former town of Echols, TX other than this blurb from the Texas State Historical Association:
"Echols was near Farm Road 2310 and U.S. Highway 84, eight miles west of Mexia in northern Limestone County. Two churches, a school, and several houses represented the community on county highway maps in the 1940s. The school was consolidated with the Mexia Independent School District in 1960. Only one church remained at Echols in the 1980s."
We think this was the bathrooms, which were added on later after indoor plumbing was available. |
