Russell School Renovations
The following pictures depict the renovations
being done to the Russell School building.
All pictures are from the stage area of the
gym.
The Old Russell School building was purchased by Bob & Mary Chipp of
Chariton.
The big fireplace on the south side of the
stage area was built by one of the grown boys of the Chipp family.
In front of the fireplace, they have 2 big
sofas where you can sit and enjoy the fire, watch the TV's which are on the
east & west wall of the stage, or sit at the oak table (built by the Amish)
and enjoy some snacks.
The room off the stage to the east was made
into a kitchen area. It has a commercial size stove,refrigerator,
dishwasher, hand sink, and plenty of counter space to prepare your food.
The
elementary class rooms were made into
storage units. Some of them are rented out, others are available.
The gym remains available with basketball
hoops.
Bob and Mary have plans for the rest of the
building in time.
This is a beautiful addition to Russell and
the school building.

What a wonderful thing the Chipps have done. It looks so nice. Congratulations, Russell, you have been able to keep the school building. It would have been a shame to have it destroyed by vandalism.
