The main building was built in 1937, and is a two-story, Colonial Revival style brick building. It consists of a seven bay, side-gabled main block flanked by two, long, slightly lower two-story, side-gabled wings. Also on the property is a two-story, side-gable frame, Colonial Revival-style Teacherage, built about 1940; a one-story, six-bay, “T-shaped”, Agricultural Building built about 1908; a Gymnasium built about 1950; and a Pump-House/Oil House, built about 1941.
