The 1911 school building served the educational needs of the agricultural community near Milliken for almost fifty years.  Its intact setting, associated teacherage, itself a rare survivor of rural education, and privy further enable the property to convey its rural heritage.  The building exhibits typical elements of rural schools, such as the narrow windows, bell tower, one-room interior, and the entry vestibule.

Thumbnail

Morse H. Coffin built the ranch beginning in the early 1880s.  The complex includes nine farm structures and a quarry.  The vernacular Second Empire style house was built in the early 1880s using sandstone from the nearby quarry.
