Mt. Pleasant School - Alamosa, CO - One-Room Schoolhouses on Waymarking.com

"Built in 1911, the Mt. Pleasant School building served as the area's only school until 1965 and the last one-room school on the Alamosa Vicinity.
As the only public building on the rural landscape, it was not only a center of education, but also a focus on community life, hosting a variety of activities. In its size, scale, window placement, and interior configuration, the building epitomizes the rural schoolhouse. Its clustered windows on hipped roof reflect turn-of-the-century "innovations" in rural school design. The predominant architectural feature on this building is its corner belfry/entrance with an unusual concave slope roof."
