Built in 1923, it is a prominent local work of New Hampshire native Chase R. Whitcher, and is Concord's only school in the Georgian Revival style.

It is also the only surviving element of the historic village of Millville that is not part of the nearby St. Paul's School campus.

It is covered by a hip roof, and has a projecting entry section, with a portico supported by grouped round Tuscan columns.

[2] The Millville area of Concord developed in the late 18th century as a small industrial village, most of whose surviving remnants are part of the St. Paul's campus.

The first public school was built on the south side of Hopkinton Street in 1801, and was replaced by a larger frame building in 1860.
