The current structure was designed in 1929 by Lafayette architect, Walter Scholer Sr. in a Classical Revival style that was deemed the most appropriate image for public buildings, particularly those structures associated with knowledge, learning or the arts. Five different schools occupied this site prior to the construction of the existing building which now serves as Morton Community Center. The center offers recreational programs, classes, and special events to residents of all ages. Activities include dance, yoga, fitness classes, pottery, euchre, bridge, and art classes, with rooms to rent for other group activities on approximately 3.5 acres.
