Richard H. Field deeded a quarter acre tract to the trustees of school district 32 located where the road from the Belmont Furnace intersected the road from Shepherdsville to Elizabethtown. It was likely the site for the Culvert Springs School, shown below in this excerpt from a 1925 map.
The deed is transcribed below.
