It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, with a hip roof and multiple chimneys.

A single-story hip-roofed porch extends across the central portion of the main facade, sheltering a doorway flanked by sidelight windows.

The hotel was built in 1879, one year after the reservation was established, to house visiting government officials and unmarried employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

It was converted to apartments in 1937, and later housed as the tribal offices of the Brulé Sioux who live on the reservation.
