The Versailles School and Tyson Auditorium is a historic school and auditorium located at Versailles, Ripley County, Indiana. The school was built in 1938, and is a two-story, flat roofed Art Deco style building. The auditorium was added in 1950. James H. Tyson, a founder of Walgreens, funded the buildings. The famous Milan basketball team often played its games in the building, as their home court was often too small for all the spectators. Note: This includes and Accompanying photographs.
