It was build in 1941 from wood from the old original school. The school was owned
by John Beck, who was the superintended of Cistern School Dist., he bought it
from the Flatonia School Dist. after they took over the Cistern school system.
I bought it from his son about 3 1/2 years ago. My grandmother was the cook at
this school, her last name was Frebert. I do want to fix it up, and there is NO
plans on tearing it down in the future. The original land was owned by a Janceka.

Editor's note:
We
start our "Texas Schoolhouses" series with the Cistern School in Fayette
County. The school looks as though it only needs a coat of paint and classes could
be held tomorrow. We have no information on the Cistern School, but chose it for
its simple appearance and utilitarian style. We hope that one or more of our readers
can offer some information. - June, 2001 |
