About This Image

The Old School – Montezuma Georgia Metal Print by Mark Tisdale

The old school pictured in this Montezuma Georgia metal print is one of those buildings that carried different names throughout its history. So the name of the school varies with the generations. In my time, this was Macon County Elementary School. And, in fact, that was its last use before being replaced and closed. Built in 1921, it was originally a city school for Montezuma and served all ages. By the late 1950’s, after school consolidation, it was Macon County High School for a time.

The architectural style of the old school was fairly common in the early decades of the 20th century. Some refer to it as Collegiate Gothic while others call it Institutional Gothic. Whatever the name, to me it was a classic red brick schoolhouse – very similar to one my Mom attended in her hometown. Now fewer survive. After closing, the one here in Montezuma was eventually demolished. So this artwork is my tribute to my own memories of that old schoolhouse.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
