The school was built in 1911 by the residents of Brownlee, one of the several small mining communities which had grown in the Boise River basin in the late 19th century.

The two-room schoolhouse was built in keeping with contemporary standards for rural schools; it provided for heating and ventilation, had several windows to provide light, included two cloakrooms and a library room, and featured hand-carved wooden trim for decoration.

Like many rural Idaho schools, the schoolhouse also served as the local community center.

[2] The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 1998.
