OATS PARK SCHOOL
The Oats Park School was designed in 1914 by Frederick J. DeLongchamps,
Nevada's preeminent architect of the period. He was also responsible for
the 1921 north and south wing additions. This building is one of his
earliest, and perhaps, first, public school designs. The structure was
placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1990 because
of its importance in the history of local education and its architectural
significance including the use of contrasting brick colors and attention to
interior detail.
In 1995, the Churchill Arts Council began renovation of the facility for
its use as a multi-discipline cultural center. Drawing on the building's
legacy of serving the community, the Churchill Arts Council reopened the
building as the Oats Park Art Center in February, 2003.
