History

The first school on this site was a log school built in 1882. Later, a frame school was built and then replaced in 1914 with a two-story brick school and it was torn down to build the Works Progress Administration school. The school, built in 1939 with funding from the WPA, was the only project of the New Deal in Redfield. [2]

The main building of the Redfield School Historic District is an H-shaped single-story brick building, 15,000 sq ft, with a dormered gable roof.
