This 2-1/2 story wood frame structure was built in 1883, and is the only known Queen Anne style school building in southern New Hampshire. The building is basically rectangular in form, with symmetrical single-story wings extending the front facade. It has a variety of gables and window sizes and shapes, typical of the Queen Anne period, as well as Stick style applied woodwork. The school was built with funds bequeathed by Daniel Watson Ladd, a local businessman. The building served as Epping's high school until 1966.[2]
