The original school building was built in 1916 and expanded in 1919. A separate high school was built adjacent to it in 1922–1923, and an agriculture shop building was added in the 1930s. The original school is an L-shaped, two-story building consisting of two front rooms and a south ell room, with a one-room plan, two-story addition creating a square plan. It has a hipped roof and vernacular Colonial Revival style entrance. The interior also reflects the Colonial Revival style. The school closed in 1967.<ref name=VAnom>{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Augusta/007-0686_Middlebrook_Schools_1985_Final_Nomination.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Middlebrook School|author=Ann McCleary|date= September 1984}} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Augusta/MDSchool_photo.htm ''Accompanying photo'']</ref>
