The Lamar Community Center is located at 1488 200th Street in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 1 March 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lamar Community Center )〕 ==History== The town of Lamar was a small but thriving settlement on the Clam Falls Trail. Records show the settlement contained a creamery, post office, church,〔The Lamar Chapel stood east of the Lamar schoolhouse; it was shared by Presbyterian and Lutheran congregations.〕 general store, charcoal kiln, and a brickyard, all surrounded by numerous farms, most of which raised potatoes. In 1905 the inhabitants joined forces to erect a one-room craftsman-style building with an Italianate tower, for use as an all-grades schoolhouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 In 1910 a second room was added to the building,〔The plan for the addition was provided by Ehrman Ferris, a resident of the area.〕 on the south face of the building. The original construction was set at ground level, with an open porch at the entrance. In 1926 the structure was raised, and a block foundation was set underneath. An enclosed entryway with a wide stairwell was added to allow access. After the turn of the century, a railroad pushed into the area, bypassing Lamar and drawing commerce toward Centuria, Wisconsin, 8 km northeast of Lamar. The settlement's commercial activities gradually declined and closed. The school continued to function into the 1940s. It closed in 1945,〔() 13 January 2012 press release, Lamar Community Center〕 after which its space was used for community functions.
