The Ingomar Public School, also known as Ingomar High School, on Second Avenue in Ingomar, Montana, was built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. [1]

It is an L-shaped hipped roof building. It was built in 1913, with a square, symmetrical plan, and was expanded in 1915. [2]

It was deemed

significant as a well-preserved, representative example of the dozens of pioneer schoolhouses constructed in eastern Montana during the first three decades of the twentieth century. School facilities, such as those erected at Ingomar, typically were among the first vestiges of "community" culture to be established in a newly-settled region. This reflected the relative importance placed on education by the region's pioneer inhabitants; simultaneously, the early presence of a school building commonly made the facility a focal point for other civic and community activities. The Ingomar school building and its contemporaries thus functioned as centers for a wide variety of public activities. More than any other building in the historic Ingomar townsite, the town's school facilities represented the social, civic, and educational activities and goals of the Ingomar community. [2]

Ingomar, Montana

Ingomar is an unincorporated community in northwestern Rosebud County, Montana, United States, along the route of U.S. Route 12. The town was established in 1908, as a station stop on the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, then under construction in Montana. Although the land around Ingomar attracted numerous homesteaders during the decade following the railroad's completion, the region proved to be far too arid and inhospitable for intensive agricultural use, and by the 1920s the town was in decline. The railroad through the area was abandoned in 1980, and only a handful of people remain in Ingomar today.

Roundup Central School United States historic place

The Roundup Central School is a historic school located at 600 1st Street West in Roundup, Montana. The west wing of the school was completed in 1911, while the east wing was completed in 1913. The school was the third building used as a public school in the city; however, it was the first school of considerable size, as the earlier schools had held two and four rooms respectively. The large sandstone building was one of many civic improvements completed in Roundup in the late 1900s and early 1910s, and it served as both a symbol of the city's growth and a sign of its commitment to becoming an established city and regional center. As the region's economy declined due to drought conditions in the late 1910s and 1920s, Roundup's population remained stable due to its status as a regional service center, a role which partly stemmed from the school. As a wave of consolidation closed many nearby schools in the following decades, Roundup both stayed open and absorbed many other districts; it became the largest school district in Musselshell County and cemented its status by absorbing the Klein school district, then the second-largest in the county, in 1959.
