You will never regret preserving these images. Several years ago I noticed an old barn out in the Flint Hills of Kansas. I passed it by several times and finally decided to stop and take a photograph. This was in winter and I thought how it would be good to come back and capture the image in spring, summer and fall. The next spring I went back and found the barn and outbuildings had been razed. Nothing was left.

I love pictures of old buildings like these. You did a great job of capturing them. The 3rd is my favorite becuase of the trees, You might consider cropping out (or cloning out) the orange post in the lower left of the first picture.

Good shots on all of them. But, "food~for~thought", do you think color is the best choice for them ? B&W, and/or, Sepia may add more dimension and character to them. Def, the school house, I think, would benefit more in atmosphere if converted to Sepia. Just my humble opinion. MG.

The time of day that you shoot these kind of images is very important. Mid day flattens the image and takes away from the character. Try these in early morning or late afternoon light and you will see the difference.
