Built in 1889, the Jefferson School is a four room school designed and adapted from the plans of SS Woodcock that had been drawn for the Washington School construced in 1887. It is an example of Queen Anne architecture and remains intact from its original construction period. It maintains most of the 19th century details. There are 2 large classrooms on each of the two floors. The facade has a large central cross gable pavillon, decorated with scalloped shingles on a pent roof whch separated the 2 floors. It is topped by an octagonal clock tower. On each side of the frond is a corner porch. The school is painted a various shades of yellow to orange but was probably taupe or gray when built.
