Conifer Junction Schoolhouse
Jefferson County
Conifer Junction Schoolhouse is a one-room schoolhouse that was continuously used from 1923 to 1965 for grades 1-8. The school district then converted it to a preschool, which operated until 2012. The school provided a central gathering place for many community dances, box socials and other events until 1955.
The school and the 1930s horse barn are good examples of the Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements architectural style. While most rural school buildings have a single front entry door into the main room, this schoolhouse is distinctive with the entry porch and three doors that lead into the main room and protruding cloakrooms.
