Description
In October of 1914 the Smart and Wighteman districts consolidated resources to better serve the families in their communities. Each district moved their school houses to a new location at the N.W. corner of Harrigan and Union Rd where the government donated 40 acres to the new district called Union. The first principal of this school was Prof. F.L Woods with teachers Laura Mills and Mrs. William Mallis. The Wildes district joined in 1916 and they called themselves consolidated A. Consolidated A then joined the Fallon City school system in 1919. In 1957 this building was sold to the Union Farm Bureau and the land reverted back to the BLM.
