This is a one-story brick 8-room school building with attached gymnasium built by the WPA in 1939 as the junior high school. The gym has a barrel roof, with a flat-roof one-story wing on the east and south. The east wing has rounded corners on the northeast and southeast and contains the main entrance.
The four ribbon window units on the east have been remodeled to contain 3 double hung windows in each. There are six multi-paned casement windows on the gym's west elevation, which are covered with screens.
The main entrance is a double-glass door unit with a metal awning above. To the right of the entrance is a metal shield showing it was constructed by the WPA in 1939. Across the street is the current high school, and to the west the junior high school is located in the original elementary school. This building is currently being used as a school library.
