It is a two-story brick building on a raised basement in the Classical Revival-style. What is now known as the Science Building was added in 1942 and eventually expanded to twelve classrooms. The gymnasium was built in 1947. The gymnasium has served as a community recreation center and is still used by the Recreation Department for evening basketball.[2]
