From Victor, proceed north on SR21 to one mile north of 160th Ave, and the school will be on the west side of the road, now converted into a house. Since the school was closed, the hill the highway is on has been cut down, so the house looks to be sitting higher on a hill than in the old photographs.
The first photograph is from Owen Jones' book, One-Room School Houses: Iowa County, Iowa 1844 - 1966. The school faces east, at the road.

The next photo is taken from street level, looking at the front of the school.
