'''Lacombe School''', built in 1913 in [Lacombe, Louisiana](/source/Lacombe%2C_Louisiana) as a one-story [two-room schoolhouse](/source/two-room_schoolhouse), was listed on the U.S. [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1990.<ref name=nris/>  It was then the '''Lacombe Museum'''.<ref name=nrhpdoc/>  It is now known as the '''Bayou Lacombe Museum'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bayoulacombemuseum.com/ |title=Bayou Lacombe Museum}}</ref>

It is a "plain" building with a tin [hipped roof](/source/hipped_roof).  It served as the community's only elementary school from 1913 until "well past [World War II](/source/World_War_II)".<ref name=nrhpdoc/> Through 1990 the beaded board interior had retained its historic appearance, although some wall surfaces were obscured by museum exhibit boards.<ref name=nrhpdoc/>
