Facility Type: Building

Description:

What better place to teach everyone what a good time looks like than Reno's most historic school? This iconic building has been renovated with hardwood floors, lighting, AC, and a restroom. Hallmarked by a beautiful, brick-laden pathway that starts at the fountain and floral arch and continues all the way up to the steepled schoolhouse to ring in your special day, this intimate venue is easily the most photogenic that Bartley Ranch Park has to offer. This venue makes a great double rental alongside the Huffaker Picnic Pavilion.
