The Little Red Schoolhouse, originally constructed as the Scottsdale Grammar School in 1909.  It was a tribute to the wisdom and foresight of town founder, Chaplain Winfield Scott.

It is still located on its original site in Old Town Scottsdale, the Little Red Schoolhouse was dedicated on Scott's birthday on February 26, 1910.  After serving as a school between 1909 to early 1950's, it served as Scottsdale's first Town Hall (1955-1963), then it was a public library (1963-1968), and then it was the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center from 1973-1991.


This was Chaplain Winfield Scott and his wife.
