The 2-story walls stand on a solid foundation of lava rocks quarried from the nearby hillside. Its colored adobe bricks
were hand-made from a pit of clay on the west end of town. The settlers cut trees for this structure from Mount Trumbull,
nearly 75 miles away, and bought them across the Arizona Strip and down the steep canyon cliffs of the wood road near
the cemetery.
This wonderful old building was used as both a school house and a church, and has suffered serious weathering over the
years. Recently a group of interested people have made an attempt to shore it up and restore it.
