Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Gas Creek School, near Nathrop, Colorado in Chaffee County, Colorado, was built in 1909.[1] It was the only school in Chaffee County School District No. 20 and it operated from 1909 to 1958.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[2]

It is a one-story brick school building, in open land with the Шаблон:Convert Mt. Princeton standing behind. It was built as a replacement for a wood-frame schoolhouse that was built in 1890.[3] The school is about Шаблон:Convert in plan and is built of orange brick atop a raised concrete foundation. It has a hipped roof and a square bell tower holding a bell which is rung by pulling on a rope.[3] It was a one-teacher one-room school, although it has two front doors.[3]

A photo of the school is included in "America’s Country Schools", a 1996 book by Andrew Gulliford, who stated: "'Built from a plan book, this school has double entrances with canopies and an ornate bell tower.'"[3] He suggested the school's symmetrical design indicated it may have been taken from a plan book. He also noted that having a belfry or bell tower "usually placed above the entrance to the schoolhouse, had become a status symbol for many school districts' by the nineteenth century."[3]

One teacher at the school was Betty Farrington, who taught fourteen students there during 1938-39 for a salary of $75 per month; there was at least one student in each grade from one to eight.[3]

The property also includes two privies, a shed, a swing set and a seesaw.[3]

The 1875 Frantz Ditch runs through its property.[3]

It was deemed significant as "an exceptionally well-preserved example of a one-room rural schoolhouse", and is unusual for being built of brick.[3]
