The school is a clear example of the influence of bungalow/colonial-style architecture on Kootenai County rural schoolhouse design. The structure was used as a school through 1984. The Rose Lake Community Historical Society organized to preserve the Rose lake Elementary School as a community center. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
