- Notes: The Debs School served from 1926 until consolidation in 1951 as the only school in the remote southeast region of Hinsdale County. As the only public building in the Upper Piedra region, the school was also a community focal point, hosting a wide variety of activities. In its size, plan, roof shape, interior configuration, and placement of windows and doors, it displays the general characteristics typical of rural schoolhouses. It is one of only two ornamental concrete block rural schoolhouses identified in the state, and is Hinsdale County’s sole surviving one-room schoolhouse.
