It is a rustic one-story peeled log building built on United States Forest Service land in 1934 by a Civilian Conservation Corps battalion, to serve the increasing number of year-round residents in the area. Its gable front faces west. It served as a school until 1961, when it was consolidated into the Priest River School District. It was used as a teacherage thereafter, until 1974, then converted to become the Priest Lake Library. In 1995 the U.S. Forest Service transferred the parcel to a private owner, and it was to be deeded to the Library Board in 1998.[2]

It is located at 28769 N. Highway 57, on the east side of the highway, about 28 miles (45 km) north of Priest River.[2]
