The Bricked Window: Child's Chair, Tin Cup, Missing Teacher

著者：
A century-old schoolhouse kept a secret pressed into brick: a near-black child's chair and a tin cup were found sealed inside a bricked-over window after frost displaced a few lower bricks. The building had been sealed since September 1899 and no one touched that room for 120 years - so who placed the chair before the wall was finished, and why was the south window bricked the same year a six-year-old boy died of exposure?
In this episode, we follow the discovery from the frost-heave crack on February 11, 2019, through the photograph that reached county and college hands, and the archival ledger that records a single terse decision in September 1899 to brick the south window. What does that ledger entry, the chair, and the county folklore about the "Hollow Teacher" suggest about the missing pieces of the story?
