1995-A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation.

This is a one-story frame front-gabled school house with 6/6 dhs. The building was probably built before 1859, and has been abandoned for some time. It served as a school until at least 1922. It has a standing seam metal roof and is set on a stone foundation. There is a front-gabled addition across the front of the building that appears to have been built between 1870 and 1900.
