It was built in 1903 and was expanded and renovated in 1912. A small addition was built in 1921. It was originally in the Romanesque Revival style, but transformed to the Classical Revival style with the renovations. The "C"-shaped brick building contains 21 classrooms and an auditorium that seats over 200. The school closed in 1979. Part of the very large school building is now a nursery school, and part condominiums.
