Estherville, Technical Assistance Network (TAN):
Completed a site inventory form to help determine that the old fire station in downtown  Estherville is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.  The building owner recently purchased the building and has plans to open a coffee shop and book store.

Estherville, Old Lincoln School, 1901:  The Estherville Lincoln School was the very first project that RPP worked on.  The Estherville Art Center wanted to purchase the building for their programming, the school board did not accept their offer.  There were other offers that were brought to the table, the school board again turned the offer down.  Unfortunately, RPP came to the project to late and the fate of the building had basically been decided.  The building was demolished winter 2007.  R.I.P. Old Lincoln School, you were built like a fortress, educated many, and you were an anchor for the neighborhood for many years.
