The '''Bayard School''' in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a building from 1874 and is one of Pittsburgh's oldest surviving school buildings. The school was closed in 1939, along with the nearby Foster School and Lawrence School, when all students were transferred to the new elementary wing of Arsenal Junior High School.<ref>{{cite news |title=City Will Open 8 New Schools; 15 Old Buildings Will Be Closed This Fall |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24270263/the_pittsburgh_press/ |accessdate=October 4, 2018 |work=Pittsburgh Press |date=July 9, 1939 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> It was sold in 1941 and later used as a warehouse.<ref name=nrhpdoc>{{cite report|type=none|url=https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992196 |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Pennsylvania MPS Bayard School|publisher=National Archives and Records Administration |author= Martin Aurand|date= April 1986| access-date=December 8, 2025 }} ({{NationalArchivesNote}})</ref> It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.<ref name=nris/>
