Description:
A building of four rooms, this school is a single-story, rectangular (50′ x 83′) structure constructed of rusticated and coarsed native stone of buff color. The roof is flat with parapets. The front entry is recessed behind art deco-sty le pediment. The concrete friezes above and below the windows also demonstrate an art deco flavor. Brown boards have been inserted into the windows. There is a concrete addition on the north side of the building and a rock one on the west side. These alterations impeach the architectural integrity of the building.
The building is significant because construction of it provided employment opportunities for unskilled laborers in a rural area and because it provided educational opportunities for children in this area. Architecturally, the building is unique in terms of type, style, materials, and quality of workmanship.
