The architecture of the building, Tudor in style, combines grace and beauty in all its line. Its quite dignity is enlivened by varying shades of red and brown bricks, set in buff cement and enriched with with light terra cotta ornament. The wide terra cotta main entrance is flaked on either side by octagonal towers each surmounted by tourelles of the same material, the panelling and curved roofs of which are accentuated by the use of green glazed terra cotta. Oak finished throughout the halls and corridors, stained in old English tone, add to the Tudor effect.

 

The building now contains seventeen classrooms, offices, two advisors' rooms, one room each for science, music, art, general shop, print shop, typewriting, commercial, rest room and lavatory for women teachers, and lavatory for men. The completed units are the heating plant, library, study room, auditorium, and offices.
