The schoolhouse, about 1886-1889

I believe this photo to be circa 1886-1889 and that this may be the schoolhouse that was used after the old White Church was moved up near the railroad but before the first 2 story school was built in 1890 at the school's present location. If I am correct this might be the only existing photo of the little known school in the area that was Gradyville, circa 1886-1889. . Maybe some readers will recognize a few of their ancestors in this photo? G. R. Roberts, the photographer appears to have briefly established a photography studio in BG and after 1890 moved on down the road.
