Seminary is a large 2-story gable-roofed brick building constructed ca. 1876 in a prominent location on a major thoroughfare in Centreville, seat of Queen Anne's County, Maryland. The building exhibits Victorian eclecticism in its combination of elements from various popular styles applied to a traditional side-passage floor plan. Despite the school's conversion for residential use in the early 20th century, its exterior retains integrity to reflect its original function and exhibits the careful craftsmanship typically applied to public buildings of the period in the region.
