It is the only one out of 10 schools designed by Kletting in Salt Lake City that survives. It was a school into the 1960s, and since has been adaptively reused. Its most recent renovation received a preservation award from the Utah Heritage Foundation.[2]

Big-D Construction notes several awards for the historic renovation.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1][4]

It may have been designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting (per NRIS) or it may have been designed by a William Carroll (per article covering Oquirrh School in Salt Lake Herald, 10-28-1892, p. 8).

According to a website about renovation, it was designed by Kletting.[5]
