The two-story four-room frame schoolhouse built on this site in 1897 and used until 1911 was replaced by this two-story, painted brick structure. The T-shaped building, with ample windows for ventilation, has simplified Prairie Style details, including white concrete stringcourses and window sills, broad roof overhangs, and low-pitched hipped roofs. The school included all grades until a high school was built in 1928, and then housed lower grades until 1993. Proposed demolition in the 1990s was rejected by citizens, and the school continues in use.
