Constructed about 1925 as a Rosenwald School, this unique building sits on 2 acres. Original oak floors and wainscoting that soars beyond the chair rail all the way to ceiling highlight its interior. Batteries of windows maximize the effect of natural light. LIke many of these schools, it has fallen into disrepair. It needs a roof and tender loving care to bring back its historic integrity. Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Co. collaborated to build almost 5,000 of these schools. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has an interesting publication " Preserving Rosenwald Schools. " Reimagine a new life for this historic treasure. Maybe you envision a residence, a hunting lodge or a gathering spot. Or you could move it to your own property!
