It was built in 1921–1922, and is a one-story, wood-frame building clad in rough-cast stucco siding. The building sits on a poured concrete foundation. It features overhanging eaves, a wood cornice, exposed rafter tails, and decorative corner brackets in the American Craftsman style. Also on the property are the contributing concrete block coal house/shed (c. 1950) and septic tanks / privy sites (c. 1922). The school was permanently closed in 1968.[3]
