The Lutheran Girls School building in Konnarock, Virginia, is a historic structure; and it is presently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was constructed of wood and stone, hewed from the mountains where the building is located during the 1920s, and has graceful architecture that is typical of the rustic buildings constructed during that era. It was constructed by the Women's Missionary Society of the Lutheran Church in America and was operated by the Lutheran Church as a girls school from the middle 1920s until 1959. At that time the school was closed and the building at that point entered a very long period of disuse. In 1967 the Forest Service acquired that building as part of a much larger acquisition of 680 acres, all of which bordered the national forest. Today, the building has fallen into a severe state of disrepair and is in danger of collapse unless substantial remedial work is performed in the very near future.

I believed then and believe today that where the incumbent providers are not offering an adequate service... it ought to be free to do so.
