The Rein school is located just east of Highway 177, at Cowboy Road and CR 250. It stands in an open field and was once a vital part of the education of the children in this area.
This is a rectangular, 47 x 35 ft. building constructed of rusticated native sandstone by the WPA in 1936-1937. It is a one-room schoolhouse with an entry on the south, and another on the west. There is a gabled roof with a cross-gabled porch roof on the west.
Prior to 1988 the school had fallen into disrepair (see photos on the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory database (
visit link) At that time, the school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. A metal roof was added and the window openings were covered with metal sheeting.
