}} The Lincoln Creek Day School near Fort Hall, Idaho on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation was built in 1937 in the Colonial Revival style.〔 (including 9 photos from 2009)〕 It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on April 9, 2010.〔 ==Description== The School is a one-story frame building facing Rich Lane, a major road in the Lincoln Creek District of Fort Hall Indian Reservation. The building is situated by a large, open area surrounded by trees. It sits on a concrete foundation rising three feet above ground level, allowing light to enter the basement through a light well on the north side. Above this height, the walls are lap sided. The building's exterior consists mainly of original materials, although all doors and windows are missing because of vandalism. The openings have since been covered with plywood to impede further damage to the interior. The roof, covered in wood shingles, features eyebrow dormers and provides only minimal overhang. The building is visually and structurally divided into two portions: the school section and the teacher's quarters. The school portion of the building, measuring 21 feet wide and 52 feet long, is situated over a full basement. The teacher's quarters sits over a crawlspace. The school portion has two entrances. The first is a primary public entrance with a stoop, covered by a projecting overhang. The second opens into what was once the Teacher Room, which juts off the main part of the building. A third door once accessed the original Boys' Toilet; however, it has since been filled in with a window and siding. The teacher's quarters is visually separated from the school portion of the edifice by a lower roof and a stepped-back front wall from the dominant face of the building. It has two entrances; the first is off a recessed entry porch built into the structure's southwest corner, and the other is a back door reached via concrete steps. Nine windows once allowed natural light in the residence. The teachers' quarters also features a stepped-brick chimney and an eyebrow dormer with tin metal roofing. Of the north side of the building is a single car garage with a concrete floor on its north side. The garage doors from the structure's initial construction have been removed, and only one of the four upper interior wall portions has retained its original plaster finish. The edifice's interior has been almost completely stripped of all wall and ceiling finishes, wiring, trim, cabinetry, and fixtures. Some lath-and-plaster and interior trim remain, but the ceilings and walls have been stripped down to the wooden studs. The first-floor schoolroom was converted into a large gathering area and basketball court, resulting in the original ceiling being removed and the rafters being exposed. Some of the original tongue-and-groove maple flooring still remains in this room. The interior stairway that originally allowed access between the schoolroom and the basement was later rendered unusable when the schoolroom floor was extended over it to allow more for playing basketball; also, a loft was constructed over the bathrooms. Two windows were added on either side of an existing attic vent to provide additional light. The basement under the school portion can be entered by a concrete stair on the structure's east elevation or by another stair from the school's first floor. There is a large room with wood support columns running down the center, and support areas on the east end that were remodeled into a furnace area and bathrooms. A chimney was added to the structure for the furnace, covering a first-floor window. Some plaster remains on the basement's concrete walls, as does the door and window trim. Surprisingly, its windows have also remained intact.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lincoln Creek Day School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
