This 1887 Richardson Romanesque Cream City brick school house, most likely designed by Henry C. Koch, now houses the West Allis Historical Museum. Restoration of the school building, the first high school in the Town of Greenfield, has been restored using proper preservation procedures to maintain its original appearance. Russell Zimmerman designed the wooden bell tower which had been destroyed by fire. It was replaced in 1973. In 1976, a window was restored to replace a doorway cut into the west side to connect with a garage storehouse.

The first class of Honey Creek School District opened in December 1843. It was taught by William Wallace Johnson who had built the log cabin one room school. Fire destroyed the school. It was rebuilt as a clapboard building and, in 1850, as a red brick school until the current building was constructed in 1887. It became part of the Village school system in 1902 and the City of West Allis in 1906. It was used for classes until 1924 when Franklin School was built. Subsequently it was used by the West Allis School Board for storage, as a carpentry repair shop, and for vocational training. During the war it was used as a Civilian Defense office, for Civil Air Patrol meetings and as the first office of the West Allis Memorial Hospital. It became the West Allis Historical Museum in 1968.
