Como School - Como, CO - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Como School operated from the 1883 construction of the original, wood frame grade school building through 1948, the last year of its use as a public educational facility. In addition to the hipped roof grade school, there is a small gabled roof building that was moved to the school grounds during the early 1930s to serve as a high school. The complex also includes two outhouses and a small storage shed. After closing as a school, the property was acquired by the Como Civic Association, and it remains in use as a community center. Listed under Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission (http://www.historycolorado.org/sites/default/files/files/OAHP/crforms_edumat/pdfs/627.pdf )." (from (visit link) )

This building is being restored and repurposed as a community center and meeting hall as an ongoing town project, as well as the adjacent (though smaller) High School building. The high school building was being painted while I was visiting. The two buildings may be toured upon request (comoroundhouse@gmail.com).
