It is a parochial school designed by William L. Steele. It was built and began operations in 1909, and is a typical example of such schools built in many Catholic communities of Nebraska in the early 20th century.[2]
It is a 2+1⁄2-story Renaissance Revival style building built upon a raised basement. It was deemed "a good example of a parochial school building". It was built by Sioux City contractor B.E. Short, with brick work done by Sioux City's Steele Corporation. It housed children in a dormitory on the top, attic floor. The second floor provided a music room and quarters for the nuns who taught the school. The first floor has two large classrooms with double doors that opened into a chapel room in between, and a central hall. The basement was used for cooking, dining, and laundry. It is topped by a hipped roof with eight shingled dormers, a shingled belfry, and an air circulation vent with a white metal cross above.[2]
It is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of 2nd and Broadway Streets.
