Structures of the type School
Battlement Mesa School, Battlement Mesa Colorado
Date added:January 22, 2010
This building was originally constructed in 1897 as a one-room schoolhouse. Native red stone was hauled by team and wagon two miles from a rock quarry which supplied building material for other structures in the area.
An addition 1n 1907, utilizing the same native stone, resulted in the building's present "T" plan configuration. The original portion of the building is believed to have been constructed by a local builder named Reed. No information relating to Mr. Reed has been found. Structural differences between the front and-rear portions suggest that a different builder was responsible for the newer rear portion.

During the 1880s, Minneapolis emerged as a major manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation center. Its economic growth was mirrored by an unprecedented expansion in population. Between 1880 and 1885, the city's inhabitants nearly tripled, increasing from 47,000 to 129,000. Such rapid growth placed a severe strain on municipal facilities, and this was especially true for the public school system. During the 1880s, the Minneapolis Board of Education constructed 28 new schoolhouses, including Bremer School.
The Minneapolis Board of Education purchased the land for Bremer School in June 1885. Comprising approximately three-quarters of an acre, the parcel fronted Lowry Avenue between Fremont Avenue North and Emerson Avenue North in an residential district about two miles north of downtown Minneapolis. In honor of the city's Scandinavian population, the board named the new school after the Swedish novelist Frederika Bremer, who had visited and written about Minnesota in the early 1850s. Construction of the building was delayed by a dispute over the ownership of the land, which was not resolved until May 1887. In the interim, the board held classes in a rented building on the site.
