It is a two-story brick building with a full basement. It has Tudor arch doorways on its first floor and stone trim, and the building is "topped with Tudor battlements." It was designed by architects Johnson, Miller & Miller.[2]

It was deemed to be "the most imposing structure in Newell (1983 population, 638)" and "architecturally significant to Newell and South Dakota as an outstanding example of the English Vernacular Revival." The school was also deemed to have "significance in the area of education through its distinction as the largest rural school in Butte County with the most complete curriculum available to public school students."[2]
