The Melvin School is a former homestead located at 4950 S. Laredo St. in Aurora, Colorado. Built in 1922, the structure was moved to its current site from a location three miles away.
The building has undergone extensive renovation. The belfry was rebuilt using old pictures as a guide, helping to preserve the historical character of the structure.
Inside the building, one room contains both a museum and a library. Another space features an authentically-restored classroom from the 1920s that shows the interior of a typical rural school from that era.
