Jane Phillips

Built in 1948; New Building in 1984

This school is located in the West Sunset addition just west of the Belle Meade addition, which was named after a mansion constructed by Harold and Zora Lannom around statehood at what is now 14th & Hickory. The mansion, named after the French translation for "beautiful meadow" and which served as inspiration for the later Frank Phillips mansion in town, burned in 1926. It was constructed on 500 acres formed from the Cherokee land allotments of Zora Swafford Lannom and her children. The school now fronts along Lannom Place.

The original Jane Phillips elementary school was built at 15th & Rogers in 1948 for $201,827. That was the same year that Jane Phillips passed away.

A $68,968 addition was made in 1951 and another addition in 1954 cost $66,780. The 1954 annex was a four-classroom unit.

While this location is the oldest operating elementary school site in the district, the building itself is the most recent elementary school to be built in Bartlesville.

The original building was built on the far end of what is now the playground; the original sidewalk to the entrance of the 1948 building is still in place at the far end of the playground.

In 1984 a new $2,400,000 replacement was constructed beside the old building, at Rogers & Lannom Place, and opened in November 1985. The 1948 school building and its additions were demolished afterward, but the original exterior wall relief of two schoolchildren is preserved outside the entrance, and the original wall signage lettering was located in a storage room at the school in 2017.

Windows were added to the cafeteria in the summer of 2013, along with a new sloped metal roof. In 2017, the interior finishes were updated.
