Greens Farms School, Schule in den Vereinigten Staaten
Greens Farms School is a school building completed in 1925 in Westport, Connecticut, located at the corner of Morningside Drive South and Post Road East. The structure was designed by architect Charles Cutler in Tudor Revival style, featuring distinctive brick walls and steep roofs, with an addition built in 1950 to expand classroom space.
The building opened in 1925 and expanded in 1950 to serve more students. It closed in 1983 due to declining enrollment, served as an arts center, then reopened in 1997 after major renovation and remains a public elementary school today.
The school has served different community roles over time, first as a learning space for local children and later as a studio for artists. Today it represents the town's ongoing effort to balance education and cultural activities in a single historic structure.
The school sits at a central location in Westport and is accessible from main roads. Be aware that the steep driveway can be challenging in winter weather, and the building does not meet all current accessibility standards for visitors with mobility needs.
The building contains artwork created around 1935 as part of a Depression-era work program. This is a rarely noticed piece of history that connects the site to a pivotal moment in American economic and cultural life.
