The Alderman School District #78 in Valley City, North Dakota[2][3] was built in 1925–26.[4]

It has also been known as the Ashtabula Township Hall, as Barnes County Polling Precinct #10, as Ashtabula Lakers 4-H Clubhouse, and as 32 BA-0159;. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2013.[1]

It served as a one-room rural school during 1928–1959. It is well preserved and "embodies in its architectural details many regulations that reflected current best practices for rural education, such as best natural lighting, best heating and ventilation, blackboards, and best sanitation practices of the time."[4]: 9
