Log School House, Heritage school building in downtown Yellowknife, Canada

The Log School House is a 4.9 by 5.5 metres (16 by 18 ft) log cabin on a concrete foundation, with a shingled hipped roof and a narrow plain frieze at the eave. Its east facade has a padlocked vertical-board door; the south side has a double-hung sash window with six panes west and four east, and the north side a six-pane casement window. A chainlink fence and short concrete walk separate it from Franklin Avenue.

The cabin was built in the mid-1930s by two local men for the Mining Corporation of Canada, serving as a bunkhouse and kitchen. In early 1939 it was rented as Yellowknife's first school, with classes starting in late January in a resident's home before moving into the cabin. Mildred Hall took over as teacher in February 1939, and the school board became the territory's first democratically elected government body. After two years the district moved to larger quarters; the cabin later served as a laundry and private residence, was moved to its present site in 1987, and was designated a City of Yellowknife Heritage Site in 1998.

The school board created to run classes here was the first democratically elected government body in the Northwest Territories. Mildred Hall, an Alberta-certified teacher, took over teaching in February 1939 after winter travel delays; the elementary school beside the cabin now bears her name.

The structure sits downtown on 50th Avenue and is easy to find when walking through the historic area. Since it now stands as a heritage site, visitors can view it from outside without needing to arrange special access or time a particular visit.

The cabin stood next to the paths to Glamour Alley, Yellowknife's bar district, so drunken miners and prospectors often peered through the windows and interrupted lessons. The building had been put up the year before by two local men as a bunkhouse and kitchen for the Mining Corporation of Canada.
