Luis Muñoz Rivera School (Spanish: Escuela Luis Muñoz Rivera) is a historic 1926 public school located in Lajas, Puerto Rico. It was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
The school, located at 65 de Infantería Street, corner with Dávila Street, in the downtown area of the municipality of Lajas, is a one-story high, reinforced concrete building. Erected four blocks away from the town's plaza in a rectangular lot measuring 18,425 square meters, the school originally included 8 classrooms. Many original features remain in place, making the Luis Muñoz Rivera School in Lajas one of Puerto Rico's best examples of government-sponsored institutional architecture during the early 20th century.[2]
