Fairplay School

Park County

The building represents, both physically and intellectually, the growth and evolution of public education in the South Park area of Park County.  The original Italianate style portion was constructed in 1881, and it has remained in use as a public educational facility ever since.

The 1934 Moderne style gymnasium/classroom addition, partially funded by the Public Works Administration, was designed by prominent Denver architect Frank Frewen Jr.  Subsequent additions were constructed in 1947 and 1985.
