April 19, 2011
Wyoming Valley School in Spring Green, Wis., is believed to be the only Wright-designed elementary building

From The Wisconsin State Journal: The only elementary school building known to be designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is opening its doors once again as a place of public learning and inspiration. The Wyoming Valley School in Spring Green, Wis., has been transformed into a nonprofit cultural and arts center. The cinderblock structure opened in 1958 with 46 students in grades 1 through 8. Wright donated his design and purchased two and-a-half acres of land to a ensure a proper site for the building. In 1977, the school consolidated with the River Valley school district and was used as school for fourth graders only. In 1990, with River Valley facing more consolidation, the school building was sold.
