The grounds of the school are also notable as the burial site of Obo II, considered the father of the American Cocker Spaniel breed of dog.

The school is a two-story structure, built with a steel frame with walls of terra-cotta tiles veneered with brick.

Modern aluminum-and-glass doors are flanked by Corinthian pilasters, and topped by a transom window and arched pediment.

Its gable roof is topped by a functional cupola, a signature element of its architect, Eric T. Huddleston.

It was one of two structures in the town built with funding support from the Public Works Administration, a New Deal jobs program.
