The four-story plan houses basement labs, general classrooms, Domestic Science, Commercial and Manual Training departments, a large auditorium, offices, and later physical and chemical labs. The grounds include a tree-filled block and a planned lawn. The project, bought park land for 5000 dollars, will cost over 37000 dollars and aims to be a premier local educational building.
