The original section of this two-story schoolhouse was completed in 1887 to serve Llano students living south of the river. Constructed of native sandstone and timber, it was known as the "College Building" because of its stately style. A north addition built of locally quarried granite was completed in 1902. The school was named in honor of the noted Texas writer William Sydney Porter, known as O. Henry. The building housed all grades until 1925, when a separate high school structure was built.
