Coggon Public School, also known as the Coggon Center, is a historic building located in Coggon, Iowa, United States.
The chosen terminus for the community's Main Street in 1884 was its schoolhouse. A school building has remained on this property ever since.[2] The 1890 school building was replaced by the first section of this building in 1909. Cedar Rapids architect R.R. Mayberry designed the two-story brick structure with Neoclassical styling, and A.J. Bruce was the contractor who built it. Cedar Rapids architect W. Jay Brown designed a 1936 addition in an industrial style and Des Moines architect N. Clifford Prall designed a 1957 addition in the Modern style.
