The school was built in 1835, and continues to exhibit Greek Revival characteristics despite alterations in 1873 and 1951.

It is a single-story wood-frame structure with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and granite foundation.

Its main facade faces south, and has two symmetrically placed entrances, each framed by simple moulding and topped by four-light transom windows.

In early decades it was a frequent site of town meetings, owing to its central location.

It was moved near its present location in 1873, at which time its window arrangements were altered to improve interior lighting.
