The Draper Park School, at 12441 South 900 East in Draper, Utah, is a Classical Revival style building that was built in 1912 and extended later. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
It was named after Dr. John R. Park who, early in his career, was a school teacher in Draper. The building includes a historically significant Works Progress Administration mural painted by Paul Smith in 1938.[2]
The building is now owned by Godfrey Properties & Design, founded by entertainer, filmmaker and action-sports athlete Gregg Godfrey. It was purchased by the company in 2015 with the intent to renovate, restore and revitalize the building for business use.[3]
