The Versailles School and Tyson Auditorium is an historic building located in Versailles, Indiana. In 2011 it was listed on Indiana Landmarks 10 Most Endangered Landmarks list. James H. Tyson, founder of Walgreens, funded the buildings. The famous Milan basketball team often played its games in the building, as their home court was often too small for all the spectators.[2]
In 2011, the school was transformed into apartments and the auditorium has now been reopened and renamed Tyson Activity Center.[2]
