The Olive Colored School is a one-story frame schoolhouse built around 1889 and later converted to residential use in the early 1930s. It retains its original German siding and 6/6 sash windows, although the interior has been significantly altered with the addition of a porch and an exterior chimney.<br />
<br />
Notably, the school is significant because it existed alongside the nearby Olive School for white students, which was built around the same time with a similar design. Unlike typical segregated schools of the era, which were usually located far apart and near black churches, the Olive schools present an unusual case.<br />
