Cline School

Adams County

The 1893 school was constructed to serve a growing agricultural area, and its total of four classrooms made it larger than a typical rural schoolhouse.  It remained in service as a school until 1955.

History Colorado.

The building, with its roof top bell tower, reflected what many consider to be the traditional appearance of a late 19th century rural school.  Early in 2001, the members of the adjacent church who served as custodians of the building decided to demolish the school building.  The church members believed that the preservation and rehabilitation of the building did not represent the best use of the limited financial resources at their disposal.  The building was demolished in the Spring of 2001.
