Grass Valley School House

The Grass Valley School House was originally built at 2325 Miner Street around 1901. The design was typical of schools built in Colorado during that time. The bell in the tower was used for calling the children in from recess as well as serving as a fire alarm for that area of town. The school house also hosted various meetings and community functions. The school was closed in 1917 and the building used for apartment living.

The building was given to the Historic Society by the owners in 1984. The Society convinced the city to move the building and renovate it for a City Hall and be the cornerstone of the downtown improvement district. The move to the present location and restoration of the building as the Idaho Springs City Hall was completed in 1986.
