Description
Constructed by the PWA circa 1939. The front of the school has been added onto extensively, covering up the original façade. Interestingly, the original façade is just inside the existing façade and is almost identical to that of the Hughesville, MO School. Presently, the building in Houstonia is the elementary school for the consolidated schools. As with the Hughesville, this school is surrounded by the Osage Farms resettlement project and was constructed in the midst of the farm resettlement. The bronze plaque is not visible.
