Lone Ives School was built in 1859 as a log cabin which served as a one-room schoolhouse for many years. Supplies to build the school were hauled in using animals from livestock. The school held a livestock supply and a garden that students would tend to. Love Ives School was the first school (first public school) in Travis County next to Pleasant Hill School (now modern day Pleasant Hill Elementary School), Austin Graded School, and Eanes School.
What was once a one-room schoolhouse was later rebuilt into a two-room schoolhouse. By the 20th century is when Lone Ives School was a two-room schoolhouse.
