This building now in very poor disrepair is the last remaining structure of the original facilities. It was a girls dormitory with a basement. Numerous additions through years were done to include sleeping porches, additional bath house, extended basement, and front porch. A fire broke out in 1907 severely damaging the property of more than $2300.

The building now sits hidden by trees and covered in vines. Most of the buildings around it are also abandoned. The Native American tribes still use the more modern and updated buildings as a school.
