The Valentine Public School, at 3rd and Macomb Sts. in Valentine, Nebraska, was built in 1897. It has also been known as Centennial Hall.[2]
History and significance
It was deemed significant for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, in 1984, as being a relatively rare example of a school used for first grade through high school, originally, and for its Queen Anne style "character combined with Romanesque Revival elements".[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
Present day
It is now operated as a museum, the Centennial Hall Museum.[2]
Two other Nebraska schools that combined elementary and high schools and are listed on the National Register are the 1903-built Glenville School and the Steele City School, both in southeastern Nebraska.[4]
