The Winnemucca Grammar School, located at 522 Lay St. in Winnemucca, Nevada, is a historic school that was designed by architect Richard Watkins in Prairie School style. It was built during 1927–28. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]

It was deemed significant as representing the period of rapid growth of Winnemucca from 1915 through the 1920s, and as a "good example" of Prairie Style school architecture. At the time of NRHP listing, the building remained a school, was in "excellent condition", and had been preserved with integrity.[2]
