The Deming School, also known as the Deming Elementary School, located at 715 W. Fifth Ave. in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was built in 1945. It was designed by Frederick Hutchinson Porter. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]

According to its NRHP nomination, it was deemed significant for "its direct association with the growth of education in Cheyenne" and "as an example of Art Deco architecture with elements of the International Style in an educational building and as the work of a master architect, Frederick Hutchinson Porter." The building "is a substantial brick masonry structure built with community pride and permanency in mind, and which incorporates the standard designs advocated by early twentieth century educational reformers."[2][3]
