Abandoned Schoolhouse
in Encinoso NM
It is the only structure left.
I imagine the ranch children attended here.
I wonder where the bell went. This is outside of Capitan.

About Me
- Autumn
- I live in Southern New Mexico. Everywhere has residual memories, my goal is to capture some of them. I am interested in the obscure, unusual, the ordinary, and many things that are overlooked and ignored in our busy lives. I welcome any suggestions. Please leave feedback, I'd love to hear from you on any post or on which photos you like! All photos are by me unless otherwise stated. Feel free to blog mine but please link back to this page. Thanks! If you want to use my photos for commercial purposes please e-mail me.
Where is this at?
ReplyDeleteHI I added it to the Blog. I had to make sure I was spelling it right. I don't know anything about the town or if it was even ever a town.
ReplyDeleteMy parents homesteaded on the north side of the Capitan Mountains, and my oldest brother and my three sisters attended school in Encinoso. Lon Merchant was a cattle rancher and his wife was the school teacher there. My oldest sister married one of her sons when she grew up.
