Yesterday I was in Weeping Water, Nebraska; a town of 1000+ located in Cass County. This building, now the public library, was originally built in 1885 as a Congregationalist Church and educational academy. Construction was of native limestone quarried nearby. The stone was peppered with iron fragments that "weep" rust when wet. The academy was closed before our involvement in World War I (1914) because the quality of the public schools improved.
