About the location:

Located about eight miles west of Alamosa, it is the third school at this location. Built in 1911, the Mt. Pleasant School building served as the area's only school until 1965 and the last one-room school in the Alamosa vicinity. As the only public building on the rural landscape, it was not only a center of education, but also a focus of community life, hosting a variety of activities. In its size, scale, window placement, and interior configuration, the building epitomizes the rural schoolhouse. Its clustered windows and hipped roof reflect turn-of-the-century "innovations" in rural school design. The predominant architectural feature on this building is its corner belfry/entrance with an unusual concave roof slope.

My brother and i stumbled upon it while we were trimming the trees for the powerline...then signed up afterward..
I remember finding another one but not sure where since we work statewide in CO.
Another note..also heard rumors in the valley saying this school was haunted..idk
