The Bent County High School, in Bent County, Colorado at 1214 Ambassador Thompson Blvd in Las Animas, is a historic school that was built in 1913 or 1914.〔〔 It has been deemed notable for association with former U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson (who served JFK during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis), Ken Curtis (actor in Gunsmoke), and author James Michener’s wife, Mari (Sabusawa) Michener, all of whom attended the school, as well as for "its imposing, three-story, massive-columned architecture".〔 It was designed by Swedish architect James Larson.〔 The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2010.〔〔Note for researchers: It was apparently identified as "pending" for listing in the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2010, then was actually listed on July 30, 2010.〕 The NRHP listing includes what has also been known as Las Animas Middle School and as Las Animas Junior High School. The property includes Classical Revival, and Moderne architecture. The listing includes two contributing buildings.〔 The property was identified by Colorado Preservation, Inc., in 2004 as being one of the most endangered historic places in the state.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Endangered Places Archive )〕 As of October, 2009, the school building had then been empty for 10 years but was in good condition. Plans were then being discussed by the school board to renovate and re-use part of the property, the Works Progress Administration addition to the building, but in that plan the 1914 Classical Revival portion was slated for demolition. In 2013 the posted status for the site was "Alert".〔 (with photo of Classical Revival front facade, in Home > Programs > Endangered Places > Endangered Places Archives)〕 It is shown as an NRHP-listed property by the Colorado Historical Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bent County )〕 Las Animas is currently served by the Las Animas Senior High School, at 300 Grove Ave. in Las Animas, and other schools of the Las Animas School District.〔(Las Animas School District )〕 ==See also== *Columbian Elementary School,〔(Columbian Elementary School )〕 also noted endangered in 2004, subsequently demolished 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bent County High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
