The town experienced a period of burgeoning growth after its name change in 1903, and it necessitated a larger school building.

The old stone schoolhouse became a restaurant and bar and became a gathering place for the area's Armenian immigrants.

Davenport architect Arthur Ebeling was hired to design an addition to the building and it was built by Ownes and Bevins.

Moline, Illinois architect William F. Bernbrock designed a 1957 remodeling project that included enclosing the stairways, adding dropped acoustical ceilings, and removal of the original slate roof and replacing it with asbestos.
