The Springfield Schoolhouse, in Springfield, Colorado, is an 1889 rural schoolhouse built with sandstone quarried east of town. It is 53 by 33 feet (16 m × 10 m) in plan.[2] It served as a school until 1920 when it became a Masonic Lodge. It has been known as Springfield Masonic Temple. It originally had a belfrey with school bell, but these elements were lost at some undetermined time.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977,[1] as part of the Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.[3]
It was acquired by the Springfield Masonic Temple Association during 1921–25.[2]
The main floor of the building has been used for meetings of Masonic groups, and there is a kitchen and dining area below. By 1976, the stairway down to the lower level had been covered over and was no longer in use.[2]
