Constructed in 1886 largely through the efforts of schoolteacher Robert E. Hendry (1847-1910), this one-story building was the first public school in Mineral Wells. Stones were hauled from nearby Rock Creek in mule-drawn wagons and hand cut on the site. Its features include a flat roof, concrete coping, a central end-entry with segmental arch, and an enclosed belfry. The oldest existing school building in town, it served as an educational facility until 1972.
