  The Redfield School Historic District encompasses a Depression-era school complex at 101 School Street in Redfield, Arkansas. The property is owned and managed by the nonprofit Friends of Redfield School Historic District and was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
  
  ## History
  
  The first school on this site was a log school built in 1882. Later, a frame school was built and then replaced in 1914 with a two-story brick school and it was torn down to build the Works Progress Administration school. The school, built in 1939 with funding from the WPA, was the only project of the New Deal in Redfield.
