Greenwood School is a historic school building at 2398 East 990 South in Jerome County, Idaho, near the city of Hazelton. The school opened circa 1914 in the pioneer settlement of Greenwood, one of many communities formed after irrigation projects enabled farming in Idaho's Magic Valley. Both the school and the community were named for pioneer couple Annie Pike and Charles Greenwood; Annie was a local teacher before the school was built, and her writings document much of the school's early history. According to Annie, the school was also the center of Greenwood's social life, playing host to Christmas celebrations, political events, and homefront efforts during World War I. The school building has an American Craftsman design which is similar to a school in Rogerson and likely came from a premade plan. An addition was placed on the school in the 1920s to accommodate Greenwood's growing population. The school closed in 1954 as a result of local school consolidation. [2]
The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 2020. [1]

The Upper Brownlee School is a historic school building located on Dry Buck Road near Sweet, Idaho, United States. The school was built in 1911 by the residents of Brownlee, one of the several small mining communities which had grown in the Boise River basin in the late 19th century. The two-room schoolhouse was built in keeping with contemporary standards for rural schools; it provided for heating and ventilation, had several windows to provide light, included two cloakrooms and a library room, and featured hand-carved wooden trim for decoration. Like many rural Idaho schools, the schoolhouse also served as the local community center. The declining local population and the expense of new safety regulations in the 1940s spelled the end of Brownlee's school, and the district merged into Sweet's district in 1951. The building was purchased by area residents to serve as a community center and is now the only active community building in the area.
The Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle, situated on main street in Paris, Idaho, is a Romanesque red sandstone meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young, the son of Brigham Young built between 1884 and 1889.

After the completion of the Logan Utah Temple in 1884, the workers began construction of the tabernacle. It cost $50,000 to build and seats around 2000 people.

Greenwood was an unincorporated community located in Jerome County, Idaho, United States. The community was one of many new settlements formed in Idaho's Magic Valley in the 1910s after several dam projects enabled farming in the area. It took its name from pioneer couple Annie Pike and Charles Greenwood; Annie was an author and teacher who documented much of the community's early history, while Charles was a politician who served in the Idaho House of Representatives and Idaho Senate. Greenwood had its own school, Greenwood School, which was built circa 1914; it operated until 1954 and is one of the few surviving buildings from the community. The school's closure initiated Greenwood's decline as a community, and the construction of Interstate 84 in the early 1960s split the community in half, essentially dissolving it.
