Lower South Grape Creek School (Gillespie County, Texas)

Lower South Grape Creek School is located at 10273 E U.S. Highway 290 in Gillespie County, Texas.

[7] Other early colonists in the area along South Grape Creek were John M. Hunter, Wlihelm Feller and Peter Burg, who were among the petitioners to create Gillespie County, as well as Eramus Frantzen, L.F. Toepperwein, Friedrich Scharnhorst, John Blank, G.J.

The first school house at South Grape Creek was a log construction built on 1.33 acres (0.01 km2; 0.00 sq mi) of land purchased by the Luckenbach trustees from widow Juliane Wehmeyer in 1871 for $50.

Capital improvements in later years included a concrete slab porch large enough on which to perform school plays, electricity, and indoor plumbing.

[9] Lower South Grape Creek School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Texas on May 6, 2005.
