Port Costa School
United States historic place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Port Costa School was built to serve the community of Port Costa, California. Residents voted to fund the school with a bond in April 1911, and construction began later that year. The classic revival style building was designed by architect William Wilde, who immigrated to America from Denmark. The school opened in 1912 and closed in 1966 due to a declining population.[2][3] At this point, it had become part of the John Swett Unified School District.[4]
