Greeley School / Central Platoon School
Weld County
The school is a combination of two building periods-1895, when the high school was constructed, and 1902, when the grade school building was added. The 1895 building constructed on a stone and red sandstone foundation has pressed brick walls set in red mortar, with red sandstone trimmings.
Greeley School / Central Platoon School
It was designed by Harlan Thomas of Denver in a variation of the Romanesque style. The 1902 addition is similar, yet subordinate to, the high school. Very little ornamentation appears in the overall design, following a conservative "no frills" guideline. The building is significant in that it reflects the response to educational needs of a growing community in economically difficult times.
