The Gate School is the historic former school in Gate, Washington and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
The one room schoolhouse was built in 1910. It served students from first to eighth grade until the school consolidated with Rochester's school district in 1941-1942. The school building became a community center, continuing to do so as of 2024 [update] . [2] [3] The school has been preserved by the Gate Community Club since 1944 [2] and the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 1990. [1]
The frame building features a gable roof, eaves with decorative brackets, exposed rafter tails, a brick chimney, and a square bell tower. [3] As of 2024 [update] , the schoolhouse retains its original blackboards and hardwood fir floors, cut and milled from a logging camp in nearby Bordeuax. Replica desks and benches were built to simulate the school's early aesthetics. The lumber used for the benches may have been boards taken from the original Gate train depot. [4]

A two-room schoolhouse is a larger version of the one-room schoolhouse, with many of the same characteristics, providing the facility for primary and secondary education in a small community or rural area. While providing the same function as a contemporary primary school or secondary school building, a small multi-room school house is more similar to a one-room schoolhouse, both being architecturally very simple structures. While once very common in rural areas of many countries, one and two-room schools have largely been replaced although some are still operating. Having a second classroom allowed for two teachers to operate at the school, serving a larger number of schoolchildren and/or more grade levels. Architecturally, they could be slightly more complex, but were still usually very simple. In some areas, a two-room school indicated the village or town was more prosperous.
