Churchill Public School

Churchill Public School is a schoolhouse built in the Prairie School architectural style in Wyoming. The building displays characteristic features of this movement including strong horizontal lines, integration with the landscape, and geometric ornamentation typical of early 20th century progressive design.

Built in 1911, Churchill Public School is the oldest surviving public school in Cheyenne. It was the first of several Cheyenne schools designed by architect William Dubois and was named for James Otis Churchill, superintendent of schools for nearly two decades. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

The school stands at 200 East 8th Street in Cheyenne and is a working elementary school, so the interior is not open to visitors. The two-story brick block and its stepped parapet can be seen from the public street; the flat roof line and Foursquare massing read best from the sidewalk opposite.
