Its historic Wolfe County High School building, built in Moderne style by the Works Progress Administration during 1937–1942, is prominently located on a hill overlooking Campton. It was formerly known as Campton High School, and was the only public high school in the county[5]
This building served as high school until 1968, when it became a combination middle and elementary school. From 1991 to 2005 it served as Wolfe County Elementary School.[5]
It is built of local sandstone. It is a three-story building with a 29-bay front facade.
It was built on the site of the former Kentucky Wesleyan Academy, which had been established in 1896 and operated until 1912.[5]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[4]
Deemed contributing also is a one-story concrete block masonry building (c. 1942), contributing building) that served as a dining room in the past and later for shop classes. Non-contributing buildings on the property are a shed-roofed one-story classroom building and a storage shed.
