It has also been known as the District #3 School House. It is a one-and-a-half-story building, made of black rock, which displays three of Frazer's stylistic characteristics: it uses ashlar stonework on the front facade, it has square-pointed mortar joints that were dyed white, and it has a Greek Revival-style cornice.
The building was converted to a house in the 1890s, with a frame extension to the rear then being added. Also a cinderblock shed was added, projecting to the rear, in the 1950s.[2]
