It was replaced with a housing development and a preschool in 2003. [3]
The East Ward School was a single-story brick structure consisting of two sections: the original building, constructed in 1876, and a 1906 addition. [2] The 1876 building was a rectangular structure, with a low hip roof with a gable at each end. A projecting entrance had an arced, recessed porch topped with another gable. The brickwork contained an elaborate decorative scheme with corbelled and paneled bricks. There were two rooms in the interior.
The 1906 addition was approximately the same size as the earlier section, and also contained two rooms. [2] It had a high hip roof and brickwork that matched that of the earlier section.
A bell tower which was originally above the front entrance to the older section had been removed. [2] In addition, the original narrow windows of the older section had been removed and replaced with wider windows which matched the newer section.
