It is a one-story, wood-frame, 36 by 24 feet (11.0 m × 7.3 m) school building which also served as a dance hall and a polling station and in other functions. It was built in the mid-1910s and served both Indian and non-Indian students for fifty years. Its first teacher was a Mr. Howe; another named M.P.
