Douglass Auditorium is a two-story native stone building with a slightly domed roof. The roof line has heavy stone coping. It faces east and has five distinct bays, separated by projected stone pilasters with heavy stone caps. Double door entry are located in the end bays, with a small boarded window on the second level. On the upper wall of the center bay is a stone panel which reads "19 DOUGLASS 36 / AUDITORIUM". Lower on that wall is an embedded bronze WPA shield showing the year 1936. A community center is located in the adjacent school and we believe this auditorium is used as part of that operation.
