The Grandey Elementary School is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Terry, Montana. It was added to the Register in 1978.[1]
The school was built in 1908 to entice "Professor" Charles William Grandey to stay as a teacher in Terry. It was paid for by a $20,000 bond which passed unanimously, and the former 24 by 24 feet (7.3 m × 7.3 m) school was converted to a house for Mr. and Mrs. Grandey, who occupied it for 12 years.[2]
It is a three-story brick structure with the first floor about four feet below grade, and is about 77.5 by 75.5 feet (23.6 m × 23.0 m) in plan. It has light buff-colored load-bearing brick walls, with dark reddish brick accents in bands and window caps. The building includes a fire escape on the south side of the building, via a metal chute from the third floor's art room.[2]
The school was still in use in 1977.[2]
