A Snapshot of an Old School Building in Ungaran

 

I was just passing by Semarang-Jogjakarta Street in Ungaran and I was intriguing with a building compound with generous front courtyard. Yes it was just a junior high school building compound, it currently known as SMPN-1 Ungaran. The most interesting part was a building behind the lush trees in the front side, it typically seen as an old building belong to Dutch Colonial Era.

According to sources, the building was originally a Bosopzichtersschool (BOS) or known as a Forest Supervisor School. This building compound is actually situated in the opposite side of a building known as formerly Kweekschool, a school for teacher which is situated across the street. Thus it seem to be an area in Ungaran where educational training related activities took place.
