It was built of single-storey brick and mortar in a French-Vietnamese colonial style. The front porch protrudes from the front of the building. The windows are arched and supported by cornices. It was designed and built by Phra Wichit Khun San (Ui Nakornthap), who was the civil servant of Lao Phuan Province and the district chief of Mi Chai (Mueang Nong Khai District).
