The Midas Schoolhouse, located on Second St., two blocks east of Main St., in Midas, Nevada, was a historic schoolhouse that was built in 1928. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
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.[3]
