History
In 1956, the Wyoming school board elected to consolidate its individual schools into one building. They approached nearby resident Frank Lloyd Wright to design the new school building. Wright enthusiastically agreed to do so and donated significant funds to its construction. He would dedicate the assembly room to his mother and her sisters, all of which were schoolteachers.[2]
The structures has since been converted into a cultural center. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
