In our modern world where almost every school is a sprawling, nondescript rectangle of brick and mortar housing hundreds of students, it is interesting to take a step back in time and revisit what our schools used to look like. I’ve taken a lot of photos over the years of historic schools in Colorado, and here is a collection of some of my personal favorites. Enjoy!

There are several on the Western slope of Colorado. One on Battlement Mesa south of Parachute, the Austin school house, that was moved when Rifle Gap Res was built and is now in the Historical Park in Silt, Colorado. The Antlers school house in Antlers, Colorado, has been made into a home. One South of Silt, Colorado, up Divide Creek, that has been made into a home. There was one up Piance creek west of Rio Blanco and I think the school house in DeBeque, Colorado is still standing.
