The former Leota School for Girls, also known as the Bones School, is a historic Victorian architecture residential building completed in 1910 in Evansville, Wisconsin at 443 South First Street. It was originally constructed as a home for Vivas C. and Phila Holmes, owners of the Evansville Mercantile Association (Grange Store).[1] The home was sold in 1934 to William and Jenny Bone who opened the school. They also operated the Leota Camp based at the home.[1] The school closed in 1959.[2]
