Thomas R. Marshall School, also known as the Town Life Center, is a historic school building located at North Manchester, Wabash County, Indiana. It was built in 1929, and is a two-story, rectangular, Beaux-Arts style multicolored brick building. It has a projecting center entrance bay with a recessed entrance behind a shallow barrel vault. The school was named for Indiana Governor and U.S. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall (1854-1925). It remained in use as an elementary school until 1989, after which it has been used as a community centre.[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
