The Murray Hill Elementary School was a public school in Chanute, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
History
It is a two-story U-shaped structure which was built during 1951–52.
It was built on the site of the 1887 first school in Chanute, which was replaced in 1902 after a fire in 1901. In 1951 the present building was designed by Topeka architects Williamson & Loebsack. It reflected Modern Movement architecture. It was used to the end of the 2008–2009 school year when Chanute USD 413 public school district built a school on the outskirts of Chanute to consolidate three separate elementary schools.
