Boling's architectural monument dates from the town's oil and sulfur boom of the 1920s. Austin architects Page Brothers produced a three-part complex: a two-story central classroom block framed by one-story wings that are connected to the center by arcades, now filled in. Cast-stone ornament and tile roofs and coping economically impress the stucco-faced building with a Spanish Mediterranean image.
