This school was built in 1935 as Capitol School at 802 E. Vilas, and currently houses the offices of Guthrie Public School's Board of Education.
This is a one-story tan brick building which faces south. The entrance is slightly recessed with a single glass door, sidelights and transom. The entrance is within a stone surround with the words CAPITOL SCHOOL embossed in stone. Four concrete steps lead to the entrance door.
All windows are single, one-over-one hung windows with covered transoms, with the exception of the windows flanking the entrance which are set in pairs. The headers and sills are wood.
A cornerstone is set to the left of the entrance and reads:
