It has been part of the campus since the early 1960s, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

It is a rectangular wood-frame structure, about 42 by 60 feet (13 m × 18 m), with a front-facing gable roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation.

The front, facing south, is distinguished by a temple facade, with four fluted Doric columns supporting an entablature and fully pedimented gable.

The gable has a small rectangular opening at its center, that originally housed a window but is now boarded over.

Toppan Robie, a prominent local businessman, won the auction, and promptly gave the building to the town.
