The building is the combined work of two prominent architects and one significant architecture-engineering firm: G. Lloyd Preacher (a South Carolina native working in Georgia); the Boston and Spartanburg firm of Lockwood, Greene and Company; and Spartanburg architect J. Frank Collins. The original building and master plan for the site was designed by G. Lloyd Preacher and Company. The three-story building housed a corridor of classrooms on each floor, an auditorium, and a gymnasium. The 1925 classroom addition to the high school was designed by Lockwood, Greene and Company to connect to the south wing of the existing building. The addition added twenty six rooms. The intention of maintaining the same character as the original portion of the building, and the details and ornamentation on the façade addition make it virtually indistinguishable from the main building.
