The cottage from Wola Szczygiełkowa was built in 1870 by Augustyn Kolasa, how owned 17 morgas of the land. The wooden cottage was situated some 150 m from the village road, along with other structures: utility buildings, a cowshed, a shed and a barn. In the interwar period, the owner rented the cottage to the four-grade Elementary School.

The walls of the cottage were built from hewn fir beams, insulated with moss and clay. The beams have notched corners with dove-tail ends. The plank ceiling in the living rooms was fitted onto the roofing beams, with heat insulation from a mixture of clay and chaff. The cottage with the following layout: hallway – large dwelling room – small dwelling room – storeroom – is covered by a hipped straw roof. The large room, the small room and the hallway have wooden plank doors, a kitchen stove with a hood, a bread oven and a heater in each of them. The bedchamber has a kitchen stove without a hood. In the hallway one can see a chimney with a recess.

The cottage interior has been arranged as a classroom from the 1830s and the teacher’s living quarters.
