The Frankfort School at 400 Locust St. in Frankfort, Kansas was built during 1902–03. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]

It was deemed to be "an excellent example of Renaissance-influenced turn-of-the-century school architecture in Kansas."[2]

The school was designed by local architect A.W. Snodgrass after the previous, 1880-built school was destroyed by a fire caused by a lightning strike on August 20, 1902.[2]
