The school is a one-story brick building with a raised poured concrete basement, and a hip-with-deck roof. Built in 1921, Cadiz School shows the influence of the Craftsman style. On the interior, the original plan consisted of central front and rear vestibules, separated by closets/ and a large classroom on either side of this central section. Although both classrooms have been partitioned to create living space, Cadiz School retains very good integrity. DESCRIPTION Cadiz School is located on a hill in Browntown's residential area, just east of the village's small commercial district. The houses are set on large lots, and range from less than 50 to more than 100 years old. Cadiz School was built in 1921. : It measures 61 feet (north-south) by 45 feet, and is rectangular in plan. It is a one-story structure of load-bearing wire-cut vitreous brick in common bond, on a raised basement. The roof is clad with asphalt shingles. A broad brick chimney, through which the furnace vents, rises near the center of the roof. The school retains its original windows, which are wood double hung sash in a 6/6 configuration. Those on the first floor are surmounted by 6-pane transoms, and set in a brick header surround with concrete corner blocks and a concrete sill. The basement story is surmounted by a concrete water table. The main (west) facade is seven bays wide, and is symmetrical about the central enclosed entry porch. The entry porch is flat roofed, with a pedimented parapet. A shallow flight of concrete steps leads up to the entrance.
