It encompasses the Classical Revival style Central Grade School (c. 1922), Collegiate Gothic style Industrial Arts Building (c. 1926), and Art Deco style former high school (c. 1939). The high school was built as a Works Progress Administration project along with the Tig-Arena and is a two-story masonry building. The school yard is considered a contributing site.
