The Benson Elementary School, at 3440 N. 3000 West in Benson, Utah, was built in 1935. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1]

It was a PWA Moderne-style elementary school, built of locally manufactured yellow bricks. One wing had a parapeted gable roof. [2]

Originally built as a local elementary school, in 1969 the building began to be used for the Cache Instructional Workshop, a vocational school for people with disabilities. Years later the program was moved, and the building was demolished sometime between 1993 and 2002.
