Nagle School

The Nagle School was built around 1900 and named after nearby landowners. In 1952 the school district consolidated into Ankeny Community Schools and the building was closed. A few years later it was bought at auction for $4,000 and by 1957 it was remodeled (including the addition of the front room) to be used as a home. In the 1990s the family had moved away and a trucking company, Warren Transport, used the property. The building was used for community offices for a few years but it was ultimately left abandoned where it remains as of 2023.
