The Bunce School, near Allenspark, Colorado near the Continental Divide in Boulder County, Colorado, is a historic one-room schoolhouse built in 1888. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
It is a 25 by 17 feet (7.6 m × 5.2 m) log building built upon stone piers. It was built by V.H. Rowley and J.H. Bunce.[2]
When listed, it was one of only two surviving log rural schoolhouses in Boulder County.[3] In 2013, it was asserted to be the only surviving log schoolhouse in the county.[4]
A second contributing building on the property is an outhouse.[2]
It is located off Colorado State Highway 7 about 3.8 miles (6.1 km) south of Allenspark.[2]
