Built in 1840 by a local master builder, it is a fine Greek Revival structure, and a reminder of the area's early educational history.

It is topped by a two-stage tower, whose first stage is a plain clapboarded square with a simple cornice, and whose second stage has arched louvered openings flanked by pilasters, with an entablature and cornice above.

The main (east-facing) facade is three bays wide, with brick piers dividing them.

There is a double-door entry in the center, sheltered by an extended hip-roofed hood.

The gable end above is clad in clapboards, and has a semi-oval window in its center.
