The building is the only part of the fairground that remains largely in its original configuration. It is a large one story cruciform building with a large open interior, representative of the architecture typical of agricultural fairgrounds in the late 19th century.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, having been in continuous use at the fairgrounds since 1896.[2]
