The Schoolhouse in Upperville is a two-story brick structure with a two-story, timber-framed bay on the south gable. It was originally constructed to serve as an agricultural building, possibly a granary, and was later used as a schoolhouse and most recently as an office building.

Dendrochronological analysis has shown that the building was constructed from timbers felled in the winter of 1841/2 and the winter of 1842/3.
