Built in 1956-1957, this Organic Modern building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as a public Elementary School for the town of Wyoming, Wisconsin, a rural community located south of Taliesin in Iowa County, which voted to consolidate its one-room schools in 1956. The building features a cement block exterior, a low-pitch hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves, a roughly hexagonal footprint, clerestory windows and large ribbon windows, recessed entrances, a central chimney, and contains two classrooms, a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, a teacher’s lounge, and two restrooms, with a small basement containing a utility room. The building served as an elementary school for the Wyoming community until 1990, when it closed due to declining enrollment. The building sat vacant until 2011, when it was reopened as an arts and community center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Today, the building is the only realized public school designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and serves as the Wyoming Valley School Cultural Arts Center.
