Our Lady, Queen of Heaven Church is a Roman Catholic church in Oreana, Idaho. The church's building was built c. 1883, originally to house Oreana's general store and post office. It was renovated in 1961 as a church.
When the building was constructed, it was part of a corner which included Oreana's saloon, hotel, and school; the general store building is the only surviving structure from this set. The lava rock building features a false front and a wooden cornice atop its parapet roofline. In addition to serving as a general store, the building also house Oreana's first post office, which opened in 1885. In 1961, the building was renovated to become a Catholic church; the renovation project added a number of Gothic features but left the building's overall design intact.[1]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.
