| Signficance | This building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2007. Entered as the English Settlement School, the simply adorned rectangular structure was built in 1910 to serve the educational needs of a former settlement eight miles northeast of Oakland in Douglas County. It was nominated as a building exemplifying the materials, workmanship and guiding construction philosophies that shaped the design of small rural schools in the early 20th century. |
