|  | | | Rinzler and I met a good amount of 'guard dogs'...turns out they really enjoy Jack in the Box Chicken Sandwiches. This was about 10:30pm or so, and we hope to get back to check this place out better. It was abandoned in the 1940's from what he was able to find out. (Sorry, only one picture for now...) Have any other's been?

A little history:
The Booth Public School was founded in 1908. In 1912, Freeman Booth donated three acres of land for the school and a new school building with stucco exterior was erected. In 1928, the school was enlarged and a portion became an auditorium.
One of the obscure pages of eastern Texas history portrays the life of Irby Booth and his wife Mildred. Freeman Booth moved into Ritchmond (today’s Richmond) in 1885. By 1889, Irby had met Mildred Ryon Wheat and the two were soon married. Booth also purchased land near the Brazos River and built a home. Booth furthered his settlement plans by traveling to South Carolina and convincing 30 families to relocate to his land in east Texas (near Houston). It wasn't long before crops of rice, corn and cotton were shipped out on the Brazos, a convenient outlet to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Booth settlement was very prosperous and was eventually serviced by the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad. By 1912, the new town was enjoying postal service, a general store, lumberyard, cotton gin, a Baptist church and the Booth Public School. Irby Booth had drawn up the plans with a strong resemblance to the old missions of San Antonio. The population of Booth peaked during the World War I era, with over 150 students attending school. Today, Booth’s history centers around this old school house and a wayside marker, alluding to remnants of the early 20th century.
The original Booth School:
