Libby High School, high school in Montana, United States
Libby High School is a school building in Libby, Montana, that dates from the early 1900s and has been part of the community for decades. The large brick structure with many windows and a prominent front entrance shows clear signs of age, including a partially collapsed roof and broken windows.
The building was constructed in the early 1900s and initially served as the town's main high school, later as an elementary school, and until the year 2000 as the site of the local college campus. In 2008 the school district sold the building with plans to convert it into condominiums and offices, but the project halted after the death of one partner, leaving the building vacant since.
The building carries the name of an institution that was central to generations of students and remains a symbol of education in the town of Libby. The community keeps alive memories of school events and personal moments that shaped the town's sense of identity.
The building is surrounded by a fence and located next to a park in the town of Libby, making it easy to spot when visiting the area. Its condition is challenging due to the collapsed roof and broken windows, so entry is unsafe and should be avoided.
The building's roof collapsed in 2017, yet today there are plans to convert it into approximately 60 apartments with some reserved specifically for teachers, supported by state funding for historic preservation. The restoration aims to preserve the original brick appearance while modernizing the structure.
