Rheingold School, Historic school building in Gillespie County, Texas.
The Rheingold School features a wooden frame structure with separate outhouses for boys and girls, positioned on opposite sides of the property.
William Gold donated two acres of land in 1873 to construct the first school building, which began as a small log house measuring 12 by 14 feet.
The school reflects German-American settlement patterns, with instruction conducted in English while disciplinary matters were addressed in German.
The building at 334 Rheingold School Road now functions as a community center, hosting monthly gatherings and social events for local residents.
Students who attended the school walked or rode horses to class, sometimes traveling barefoot even during winter months through rural Texas terrain.
