Midas Schoolhouse
The building was destroyed by a fire in 2005.
Its NRHP nomination argued that the building is significant "for its association with the educational and social history of the remote, early-twentieth-century mining town." It includes Craftsman architecture. It has a cross-gabled roof that once had wood shakes, now is covered by regular composition shingles; its exterior is horizontal wooden shiplap. It is a small building, and has two original outhouses at the back; the school and both of those were deemed contributing buildings in the NRHP listing. In 2004, building was serving as a community meeting room and as a museum.
It was listed on the National Register in 2004.

The Midas School was built in 1927 and operated until 1972. After many years as a hunting lodge, it was restored and donated to Friends of Midas in 1998. Tragically, the beautiful building was destroyed by fire in 2005.
