I would enjoy this more if there were children playing in the school yard or some kind of old play equipment. The building itself is rather boring architecturally. It looks too newly renovated to really evoke nostalgia despite the use of grainy black and white. Without the title and the identifying sign this just appears to be a commonplace house. No complaints about the technical quality.
