The Central School, at 10304 N. 83rd Avenue, is a historic two-room school in Peoria, Arizona. It was built in 1906, in Mission Revival architecture and Spanish Revival architecture.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
Its two classrooms are each 39 by 25 feet (11.9 m × 7.6 m) and are separated by an 11 feet (3.4 m) central hall.[2]
Museum and dissolution
[edit]It was occupied by the Peoria Arizona Historical Society Museum, also known as the Peoria Central School Museum, which was operated by the Peoria Arizona Historical Society. The city spent $19,000 securing artifacts of the PAHS and arranging for an inventory to be completed.[3] The Society was dissolved in 2017, due to a dispute over control between two groups of members.[4] In July 2019, it was stated that the two groups had refused arbitration, and that the PAHS's lease with the city was terminated. The museum was closed as a result.[5]
