Small Parish School, c. 1905

Prompt:
Use case: historical-scene
Asset type: archival gallery artwork for The Age of Smoke
Primary request: A small single-storey parish school with one main teaching room and a subordinate entrance/service projection. Architecture is the unmistakable main subject; any people, horses, carts, bicycles, goods or tools are sparse scale references only.
Scene/backdrop: An English village edge; coherent timber roof span, masonry openings and simple yard boundary. Every opening follows room use and masonry structure; every chimney follows a plausible fireplace and flue route; roof planes terminate with coherent eaves, ridge, valleys where needed, flashing, gutters and downpipes.
Style/medium: Photorealistic historical documentary image, natural worn masonry, timber, glass and roof textures, grounded observational atmosphere, restrained aged photographic tonality.
Composition/framing: Three-quarter roadside view showing main hall volume and lower annex. Natural eye-level perspective, moderate depth of field, no fisheye, no heroic low angle, no huge empty foreground.
Lighting/mood: cool overcast, autumn afternoon; ordinary believable atmosphere with restrained smoke or haze only where plausible.
Constraints: Britain in 1905; all visible details plausible for 1880–1910, nothing later than 1910. No readable text, captions, labels, borders, frames, or watermark. No modern vehicles, road markings, street furniture, glazing systems, industrial sheds, utilities or materials. No fantasy, steampunk, generic AI-Victorian ornament, extreme HDR, orange/teal grading, exaggerated spectacle or excessive smoke.
