Bodie Ghost Town / Bodie School house. It was originally the Bon Ton Lodging House in 1879, but was later converted to the school house, after the first one was burned down. The first school house was burned down by a small boy who had gotten in trouble, and was sent home. He went to the backside of the school and began setting fire to the dry brush for fun. It spread to the building and burnt it to the ground. I guess the teacher learned a lesson that time...
