I believe my late friend, Delbert Page told me that his uncle donated the land for that school. Delbert Page lived in Riverton, Utah his whole life, and he also told me that he also helped build that Riverton Elementery School. Delbert Page was an inventor of the "Muscle Relaxer". Which is a special golf club that was designed to hit golf balls farther, and with more ease. I was told by the late inventor, and I saw his invention.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]

It now houses the Riverton City Office.
