Wild Rose School with 2nd addition

This building was built and designed by architect, John Henry 

Jeffers from Wild Rose in 1895. The picture is made after the 

left wing of the building was added so the picture is probably 

before1908.  John was the son of John Robert Jeffers and his 

wife Jane.  They are part of the Jeffers families from Rose, NY.  

Notice that there is only one house which is on Park Ave. The 

trees are also very small.J H Jeffers also did the Wisconsin 

pavilion for the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904.  He designed 

many buildings in Stevens  Point including two churches and 

schools.  He did opera houses in Amherst and Antigo. He moved 

to Mason City, Iowa and did schools and libraries in Iowa.  He 

was in South Dakota and builtand Opera House and performed 

as a musician too.
