- Antelope School and Teacherage
- "After the abandonment of the Pioneer Cottonwood school in 1911, another schoolhouse of log construction was built on Antelope Creek a mile or so west of Cottonwood. Ed Robinson donated the land and Arthur Panting, Phil Maxwell and Perry Ault donated the labor with an assist from Tom Wohler. Ault and Maxwell cut the logs for the building on King Mountain, but Panting, who was to do the skidding, had the misfortune to break a leg while doing that, but the others went ahead with the project and had the new Antelope school ready for occupancy by the fall of 1912. By this time there were more children of school age so the new school was considerably larger than Cottonwood and it served the Antelope community well for several years until a new frame building was constructed in 1917. The sturdy log building was then converted into a teacherage until it was destroyed by fire in 1936." -- McCoy Memoirs, p. 46 [Title supplied from catalog prepared by the Eagle County Historical Society.]
