Statement
of Significance |
|
This one-room schoolhouse has served as a focal point for
both educational and social activities in northwest Spokane County since
the turn of the twentieth century. When it was built by R. Tapley
and J. Starkey in 1900 there were a number of other one-room
schoolhouses in the area; only this one remains. It served as a
school continuously up to 1956when students at Central School were
consolidated with those at Reardan. The Coulee Township acquired
the building in 1958 for use as a meeting house. It remains a
center for community gatherings and events.
