Corner window of the Parker Cabin at Log Cabin Village, a house museum consisting of saved rural cabins moved to a central site in Fort Worth, Texas

Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The museum is owned and operated by the City of Fort Worth. The Marine School, built about 1872 in northside Fort Worth (Marine was a tiny community of its own, eventually absorbed into Fort Worth) and ultimately moved to the Log Cabin Village, is a one-room, board-and-batten schoolhouse furnished with handmade benches and a teacher's desk. The blackboards are actually painted on the walls. Other than a few maps and a portrait of George Washington, there is little in way of decorations. This scarcity of materials and decorations was typical of rural education in 1800s Texas.
