Pioneer School House
Pioneer School House, Historical school building in downtown Anchorage, United States.
The Pioneer School House stands at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Eagle Street, featuring shiplap siding and a hipped roof design measuring 30 feet by 48 feet.
Built in 1915 during Alaska Railroad construction, this educational facility initially served ninety students before a second school opened in 1917 to accommodate population growth.
The Anchorage Woman's Club, founded by Jane Mears, initiated the school's establishment to provide education for children of railroad construction workers arriving in the area.
Located on East 3rd Avenue, the Pioneer School House earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its role in early Alaskan education.
The structure survived the 1964 earthquake and transformed from a school to a social hall for the Pioneers of Alaska Igloo 15 throughout several decades.
