It is a "plain" building with a tin hipped roof. It served as the community's only elementary school from 1913 until "well past World War II".[2] Through 1990 the beaded board interior had retained its historic appearance, although some wall surfaces were obscured by museum exhibit boards.[2]
It is located on property of the current Lacombe Junior High School, and is linked to that by a covered walkway.[2]
The schoolhouse/museum is accessible by a handicapped-access ramp.[4][5][6][7]
There exists a different "Lacombe Museum" in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada.
