It's a one-story building with a hipped roof in a rural setting. The building was moved to make way for a highway developed in 1955; it was then placed on a concrete foundation and otherwise improved. It was then used for community functions and as a Veterans of Foreign Wars meeting hall. It was used less in those ways from about 1970 on.[2]

It was deemed significant in 1997 as Echo's only surviving purpose-built school.[2]
