The Aggie Workshop is a historic former school building on Marion County Road 5010 in Bruno, Arkansas. It is a single-story L-shaped structure, built out of local stone and topped by a hip roof with Craftsman-style exposed rafter tails. The WPA-approved building was built in 1935 by the Lincoln Aggie Club and was used as a vocational stone and cement workshop, as part of the local Bruno Agricultural School. A cement swimming pool, contemporaneous to the building's construction, is located in the crook of the L.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, at which time it was used for storage.[1] It is located just north of Aggie Hall.
The Lincoln Aggie Club was organized in 1923[2] by a local teacher. It later became a chapter of the Future Farmers of America, the oldest chapter in Arkansas and one of the oldest in the nation (Arkansas was the second state to get an FFA charter, after Virginia.).[3] The members of the club built a workshop, Aggie Hall (a community recreation center), and Aggie Workshop.
