It is a one-story, nine-bay rectangular brick building with four classrooms. It has a projecting-centered gable bay and a hipped roof. The school was based on plans adopted by the North Carolina state school system in 1911. It ceased use as a school in 1973 and has been adapted for use as a Community Center. [3]
