Landmark to be site for school Associated Press SAN ANGELO — San Angelo school trustees have voted to build what is believed to be the first public school in the country to be on a Na tional Historic Landmark. The school board voted unani mously Tuesday night to approve building a new Fort Concho Elemen tary School that will include a re-cre ation of the Fort Concho post hospi tal. “We believe that this will be the first public school anywhere in the United States built with public and private funds,” said Barbara Hesse, president of the Fort Concho Mu seum Board. “We know that it is the first public school to be operated on a National Historic Fandmark.” The $1.25 million school-hospital construction project is to be jointly funded with $250,000 from the school district, $250,000 from the city of San Angelo and $750,000 raised privately by the museum board. Hesse said the construction will combine several goals — a new school in Fort Concho; the razing of the present school on the fort’s pa rade grounds, which was built in 1909; and the re-creation of the post hospital, which burned down several decades ago. She credited museum director John Vaughan with the “very crea tive idea” of combining school and hospital projects into one. Vaughan proposed placing the school a few hundred feet from-its present location and, at the same time, re-creating the post hospital. The hospital will house the school’s administrative offices, with the nearby classroom building out side the original perimeter of the frontier fort but within the historic landmark area.
