Valley Springs School

The Valley Springs School is a historic school building at 1 School Street in Valley Springs, Arkansas. Now part of a larger school complex, it is a single-story fieldstone structure with a wide south-facing facade, and a gable-on-hip roof. There are two entrance pavilions, marked by steeply-pitched gable projections. The left entrance is deeply recessed under a rounded archway, while that on the right, although also recessed, has a flat-roofed pavilion sheltering access to it. Fenestration is provided by groups of sash windows arranged symmetrically across the facade. The school was built in 1940 with funding from the Works Progress Administration, and originally served as the community's high school.[2]
