It is a one-story 75 by 44 feet (23 m × 13 m) building built of cut and roughly coursed sandstone, with hipped roof.[2]

It was one of 48 buildings and 11 structures reviewed in a 1985 study of WPA works in southeastern Oklahoma, which led to almost all of them being listed on the National Register in 1988.[3]
