As the owner of this property I find this information somewhat misleading. The remaining buildings are still on the Historical Register. The photos that are shown in the original listing are misleading since the frame building described as the Bruno School building, in the original petition for historical recognition, was the most recent building on the campus having been constructed about 1958. After the closing of the school the property was acquired by a garment manufacturer which was not a successful business.The frame building with the designation of Bruno School Building was thought to have a termite infestation and the roof was neglected and therefore the building deteriorated. We purchased the property in 2003 and about 2008 the building designated as Bruno School Building was torn down because it was beyond repair. A year or so ago, for the first time, I checked the Historical Register for Old Bruno School and was surprised to see that particular building being designated as the Old Bruno School when it was the most insignificant building on the campus of 4 buildings. The photographs that were posted were misleading and I was dismayed. The beautiful old stone buildings were not shown at their best. I called the Arkansas Heritage Commission to tell them that the building they had listed was no longer standing. I was advised that one building would be taken off of the register but the other buildings would remain on the register. I sent them updated photographs of the three other buildings and I notice that two of the photos have been included but there is one more stone building of approximately 5,000 sf which was the class room building has not been included as well as a 40x80' spring fed swimming pool. The spring known as Ebbing Spring was the drinking water supply for the school until 1964 when a well was drilled. The campus consists of almost 9 acres in three parcels.
