Skykomish School

Skykomish, Washington 98288, United States

Created By: Seco Design

Information

The Skykomish School, constructed in 1936, is one of seven schools built in Washington State under President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration. Under the program, the community provided the concrete and lumber from local sources, and the WPA provided the labor.

The building was designed by architect William Mallis, and replaced a two-story, wood-framed schoolhouse on the same property. The three-story, concrete building has streamlined Modeme detailing and Art Deco ornaments. Although utilitarian in appearance, it was considered at the forefront of school design when constructed. Through careful stewardship. The Skykomish School building retains its historic integrity both inside and out, and has been in continual use serving grades pre-kindergarten through twelve for over eighty years as Skykomish School District #404.
