The Portia School is a historic school building at City Park in Portia, Arkansas. The two-story red brick structure was built in 1914, and was the small town's only school until 1948. It is by far the most architecturally significant early 20th-century building in the community. The building is five bays wide, with each pair of bays flanking the central one stepped back, giving it a rough cross shape. The entrance is housed in the central bay, with a gabled pediment at the roof line. The main roof is hipped, with brackets in the eaves and a cupola at the center.[2]
