It was designed by noted Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban and built in 1904–1905. It is a three-story, rectangular brick and brownstone building in the Second Renaissance Revival style. It has a slate covered mansard roof and terra cotta ornamentation. The building measures 176 feet wide and 74 feet deep. It operated as a high school until 1938, when it was designated an elementary school. The school is named for Congressman Thaddeus Stevens (1792–1868).[2] It has been converted to apartments.
