About The Jeffersonian
A century of gathering, made new Built in 1921 and designed by the celebrated Iowa firm Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, this building educated generations of Jefferson students before its doors closed in 2020. Today it begins a new chapter — as a place to call home. For nearly a hundred years, this four-story landmark stood at the center of community life in Jefferson, serving first as the high school and later as the middle school. When the bell rang for the last time, developer Chris Deal saw not an empty building, but a future. The Jeffersonian is a careful adaptive-reuse restoration that converts the historic schoolhouse into 25 apartments while preserving the details that make it irreplaceable. Original hallway lockers remain in place, large windows have been reinstated to flood rooms with light, and wood cupboards, doorframes, and shelving have been woven into many of the homes.
