The building is in the Romanesque style, which was popular for public buildings in Minnesota but uncommon in Carver County.

It was built in 1876 and was added to the National Register in 1980. It was listed for its distinctive architectural embellishments and connection to town founder James Slocum, Jr., who financed and built it.[3]
The building was destroyed by fire in December 2018.[4]
