The Cave Lake School, in Kootenai County, Idaho near Medimont, Idaho, was built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
It is a 30 by 50 feet (9.1 m × 15.2 m) wood-frame building "influenced by the Colonial Revival and bungalow styles", with a hipped roof and painted shiplap siding.[2] It is an important example of "exploration/settlement architecture."[3]
It was used as a school from 1913 until the 1950s. At the time of National Register listing, it was privately owned and was used for hay storage.[2]
It is located on the north side of Idaho State Highway 3, near its intersection with Willow Creek Road, about halfway between the southern ends of Cave Lake and Medicine Lake.[2]
The building may have been destroyed or moved.[4]
