Art Deco was the prevalent architectural style during the 1930s, and the auditorium shows hints of it through its angular lines.

The building is a single story T-shaped structure built of native untooled and uncoursed stone.

The building was nominated successfully to become part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Justifying its inclusion was its unusual Art Deco allusions—uncommon among WPA buildings in the region—and its purpose as a sole-use auditorium.
