The school was built by Leo Butrum in 1936, and the first teacher was Lewis Bandy.[2] It was named for Mr Belview, a teacher from Kentucky who taught at the original Belview School on Puncheon Creek Road in the 1890s.[2] The school closed down circa 1959, and it was later used as a community meeting place.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 21, 2007.[1]
It was built to a standard plan for a two-teacher rural schoolhouse.[2]
