The Meadows Schoolhouse is a two-story schoolhouse building located in New Meadows, Idaho which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It has a tin roof, like many other buildings in the area do, for shedding snow. [1] [2]

It was deemed significant as a "fine example of classical eclectic schoolhouse architecture of the early twentieth century, handsomely executed in brick and very well-preserved. It is the most substantial surviving building in Meadows, a town which was left behind when the railroad passed by a few miles to the west." [2]
