Fremont School
Fremont School is a brick school building in Spartanburg constructed in 1915 with two main stories and a basement. The facade features decorative brickwork in Flemish bond pattern and terra cotta ornaments, with the entrance highlighted by classical porticos.
Fremont School was built in 1915 as a two-story brick Classical Revival elementary school with a partially raised basement. A major addition followed in 1926. It served as an elementary school until 1979 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
The building carried an elementary school from 1915 until 1979, so several generations of Spartanburg children attended class in its rooms. The 1926 addition was built to hold the growing enrollment. Decorative brickwork and terra cotta ornamentation on the exterior mark the school's Classical Revival design.
The building is currently private property and can be viewed from the sidewalk or public road but not accessed from the interior. Its location near downtown Spartanburg makes it easily accessible on foot or by vehicle.
Fremont School appears on the National Register of Historic Places under two spellings: the listing and the building are also recorded as "Freemont School." It was added to the register in 2000, twenty-one years after the elementary school closed in 1979.
