The Patten Consolidated School is a school building in Aurora County, South Dakota. It was built in 1914 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. [1]

Its NRHP nomination noted that it "is rather unique for a rural school, in that it is constructed of brick. The majority of rural schools in South Dakota that were built in the early twentieth century were made of wood. This vernacular building with a hipped roof, a concrete beltcourse directly above the first floor and long large windows with a centered chimney near the south end was constructed in 1914." [2]

It was significant as the first school in South Dakota to take advantage of 1913 legislation providing for consolidation of schools; it replace four smaller rural schools. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Two-room school</span> Small rural school building

A two-room schoolhouse is a larger version of the one-room schoolhouse, with many of the same characteristics, providing the facility for primary and secondary education in a small community or rural area. While providing the same function as a contemporary primary school or secondary school building, a small multi-room school house is more similar to a one-room schoolhouse, both being architecturally very simple structures. While once very common in rural areas of many countries, one and two-room schools have largely been replaced although some are still operating. Having a second classroom allowed for two teachers to operate at the school, serving a larger number of schoolchildren and/or more grade levels. Architecturally, they could be slightly more complex, but were still usually very simple. In some areas, a two-room school indicated the village or town was more prosperous.
