In 1924 the St. Joan of Arc parish built its school on 82nd Street's east side, next to the parish rectory that stands at the corner of 35th Avenue. It began as a single story over a basement and was enlarged the following decade. A cornerstone on the building still carries the date in Roman numerals, MDCCCCXXIV.

A 1928 plan to add two floors and a mansard roof to the school was abandoned the following year. In 1936 architect Henry V. Murphy filed a new plan for a two-story addition, finished in 1937. The enlarged building has a stylized neo-Gothic brick front with buttress-like piers, stone-trimmed three-part window bays and a stepped, pedimented parapet.
