Coeur d'Alene Mission of the Sacred Heart is a historic church mission school off U.S. 95 in Desmet, Idaho.
The mission was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. [1]
The mission was destroyed by fire in 2011. [2]
The NRHP-listed building was a major schoolhouse which had been built in two phases. Its three-story front section was built after 1900. A smaller hip-roofed two-story brick structure, connected at the rear, was built after 1877. [3]
At the time of NRHP listing, the first floor of another early structure survived in a two-story building, but was not deemed eligible for NRHP listing. [3]
The original chapel of the mission was destroyed in a 1939 fire. [3]
