Tuttle School is a historic building in the Como neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
History and Architeccture
Constructed in 1910 and opened for use the following year, from a design by architect E. S. Stebbins (official architect of the Minneapolis Board of Education), Tuttle Shool was constructed to serve the expanding population of its recently added neighborhood in Southeast Minneapolis. Como neighborhood residents, including a significant immigrant population, were commonly associated linked to Como's adjacent two major rail lines serving the American West and Northwest, along with significant railside elevators, milling and manufacturing industries. The Tuttle building reflected several new ideas in early twentieth century school design, such as expanded fenestration, flat roof line, and restrained ornamentation. The school name honors Calvin Tuttle, an early 19th century settler of Saint Anthony (later annexed into Minneapolis). Tuttle School replaced earlier same-named buildings (1883 and 1890) adjacent in Como, and also the nearby Columbus School.

Tuttle was operated as an elementary school until 2007, receiving renovations in the 1920s and 1980s, after which it housed several charter schools by lease.

Status and Plans
In 2023, Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) listed the building for sale as surplus property. Under MPS policy for surplus buildings, community input is a factor around the property sale and future use. Como neighbors have presented ideas for a community-oriented future use of the building.
