| 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.
