This is an unusually intact example of an early-twentieth-century rural schoolhouse. It is a one-story, T-shaped, frame and weatherboard structure situated on a rough-coursed limestone foundation and with a hipped roof covered with pressed metal. Its projecting entrance pavilion is crowned by a simple, square, open belfry that contains the original bell. The school's interior is also well preserved with paneled wooden doors below single-light transoms, cloakrooms flanking the entrance, and many four-over-four double-sash windows that flood the interior with light. An unusual feature is a wooden partition that can be lowered from tracks in the ceiling to divide the one large space into two classrooms. The schoolhouse currently serves as a social center for the small community of Dewey.
