Reid School, Historic school building in Bend, United States.
The Reid School building spans three stories and features pink volcanic tuff stone construction with large windows throughout its classical facade.
Built in 1914 as the first modern school in Bend, the building served educational purposes for 65 years until its transfer to Deschutes County in 1979.
The structure now houses the Deschutes Historical Museum, displaying artifacts and exhibits that document the early 20th-century life in central Oregon.
Visitors can explore ten former classrooms across three floors, featuring period furniture, educational materials, and displays of local historical items.
The building bears the name of Ruth Reid, the first principal of Bend schools, who established educational programs without initial school board approval.
