Schoolhouse

The children of the Vandevert family, and other children from the surrounding area, attended the one room school for generations. The student's desk are intact, along with the blackboard and textbooks from the first half of the last century. The ranch has hosted visits from today's schoolchildren, learning what school was like before their time. Ranch owners may reserve the schoolhouse for their own private functions.

The schoolhouse was originally built on a low hill just north of the junction of South Century Boulevard and Spring River Road. It was moved to its current location in 1929. The building was restored in the early 1990's and the windows were moved from the east wall to the west. For pictures of the fully restored interior and more information on the schoolhouse see "Harper School" in the History section of this web site.
