It is the only one of the three standing today. Completed in the fail of 1889 at 543 Park Avenue, at a cost of $13,000, it originally was called the Central School or Building No. 1 to distinguish distin-guish it from Buildings 2 and 3. In 1897, in order to eliminate confusion, the three schools were renamed the Washington, the Jefferson and the Lincoln. The Washington School was built of limestone lime-stone quarried from nearby Peoa, which enabled it to survive the Great Fire of 1898. Called one of the finest schools in Utah, it operated until 1931, when it was closed because of declining enrollment. It was sold for $200 In 1936 to the Veterans of Foreign Wars who used it as a meeting lodge and social hall until the 1950s. In 1936 the Marsac Elementary School was completed and the three schools consolidated there. During hard economic times the VFW was unable to maintain the building properly, and in 1970 it was sold to an investment company compa-ny who planned to make It the centerpiece center-piece of a condominium project called Lodestone. When that failed, It was purchased pur-chased by a local developer who remodeled remod-eled it into the Washington School Inn. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
