The Fruitdale School was originally designed by noted Denver architect Temple Buell in 1927 and is his oldest remaining school building. It served the City of Wheat Ridge and Jefferson County as an elementary school and community center until it was closed in 2007. This National Register historic property has remained vacant until right now! The re-use of this landmark building has created a unique, solar powered, affordable residential community full of historic and modern style.
