Built ca.1850. Nicknamed “Straw College” because straw was stuffed behind the wainscoting during the winter for insulation.  Originally on the prairie south of Kalona.  Was part of the Mid-Prairie School district and was used as a typing room by them until they donated it to the Kalona Historical Village in 1972. It was restored in 1973.
