Stanley School / Montclair School (Paddington Station Preschool)

Denver County

The Stanley School (also known as the Montclair School) is associated with the educational history of Denver's Montclair neighborhood.  Except for a few years in the early 1980s, the building has been used continuously as a school since its 1891 opening.

After the city of Denver annexed Montclair in 1902, the building became part of the Denver Public School District.  Several neighborhood generations received their elementary education at the school, which included one of Denver's earliest public kindergarten programs.  Denver architect John J. Huddart designed the original building and Denver architect David Owen Tryba planned the 1991 addition.
