Reid School Address: 129 NW Idaho Avenue, Bend, OR. Year Built: 1914 Architect: Sweatt, Levesque & Co. Builder:  Brosterhous Brothers Landmark Status: National Register of Historic Places Reid School was built in 1914 and designed in the Richardson Romanesque style by Sweat, Levesque & Co. an architectural firm from Spokane, WA. Edward Brosterhous acted as the General Contractor. The exterior of the three-story school is clad with a tan tuff stone that is accented by a dark brown band at the cornice level. The stone was quarried by the Bend Stone Company at their local quarry just west of the Deschutes River in the present day site of Columbia Park. Casement style windows are grouped in pairs and are divided between the first and second floors with a stone band, and with metal panels between the second and third floors. The exterior woodwork of the school was originally black and white. The operable windows were trimmed in black, while the surround metal and wood trim was finished in white. Upon completion Reid School was Bend’s first modern schoolhouse, boasting the latest mechanical systems of the day, with electric clocks in each room and a fire escaped that could be accessed by all classrooms.
