The building s masonry facade, engaged portico, and fanlight ed doorway are all characteristic of the style.

The building was abandoned by the school district when it completed new headquarters at 75 Calhoun St. The three buildings were restored and converted into a 27 unit condominium project in the early 2000s. The adaptive reuse was accomplished with only minimal exterior changes. The restoration of the building received a Carolopolis Award from the Preservation Society of Charleston in January 2003.
