This initiative aimed to replace the small, timber-framed, rural schoolhouses with larger, rectangular buildings, often built of stone or brick.

[2] Lincoln School sits in the middle of a residential area at the southeast corner of Jackson Street and 7th Avenue.

The square, two-story school building itself does not adhere to any specific architectural style but does include some Romanesque elements that were typical of schoolhouses built during this era.

It is constructed out of brown brick and is simple in ornamentation, with only a thin belt course between the roof and second-story windows.

The main entrance is located on the right side of the northern facade and is encircled by a slightly raised brick and concrete archway.
