Riverview is a historic building on the campus of St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1913 for what was then a teacher training college, to serve as a laboratory school where student teachers gained practical experience instructing local children. [2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as the Model School for its state-level significance in the theme of education. [3] It was nominated for being Minnesota's oldest surviving teacher-training facility. [2]
The St. Cloud Model School continued to serve its original role into the 1950s, but moved into the nearby Thomas J. Gray Campus Lab School in 1958. From 1958 to 2008, the renamed Riverview Hall was home to the university's English department. The hall then underwent a $6.2 million renovation, reopening in 2010. The project retained the historic features of the original building while adding up-to-date innovations. Two historic classrooms, furnished in 1913 style, stand next to smart classrooms and modern communication labs. It now houses the Department of Communication Studies. [4]

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.
