As the only public building on the rural landscape, it was not only a center of education, but also a focus of community life, hosting a variety of activities.  In its size, scale, window placement, and interior configuration, the building epitomizes the rural schoolhouse.  Its clustered windows and hipped roof reflect turn-of-the-century “innovations” in rural school design.  The predominant architectural feature on this building is its corner belfry/entrance with an unusual concave roof slope.  This property is associated with Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.
