WELCOME TO OUR Two Classroom BUILDING


Honoring the past, inspiring growth, and empowering the future.

The Two-Room Classroom Building restoration project presents two design concepts that blend historical preservation with modern functionality. Both concepts aim to honor the building’s Rosenwald-era legacy while creating adaptable, multi-purpose spaces.

  • Concept 1 places the museum and replica classroom in the larger northern room, preserving the building's historical character with period flooring, walls, and furnishings. The 21st-century classroom, located in the smaller southern room, offers flexible seating and modern technology for classes, meetings, and events.

  • Concept 2 reverses the layout, placing the 21st-century classroom in the larger room for greater versatility, while the museum and replica classroom occupies the smaller room, offering a more intimate historical experience.

  • Future Vision: Once abatement and renovations are complete, the building will feature a fully restored replica classroom with authentic period details and customizable exhibit displays. The 21st-century classroom will provide a flexible, tech-equipped space for educational and community use, ensuring the building remains a hub for learning, reflection, and engagement for years to come.

  • The two Classroom Buildings once served as vital spaces for education, where students and teachers gathered for daily lessons. These rooms were filled with original furnishings and finishes that reflected the era’s educational setting. Over time, the classrooms became rich with memories, showcasing the dedication and resilience of both educators and learners.

  • Today, the Classroom Buildings remain in their original state, awaiting much-needed renovation. Before any restoration work can begin, the buildings must first undergo abatement to remove hazardous materials. Once the abatement process is complete, the revitalization efforts will move forward, preserving the site’s history while preparing it for future use.

  • Looking ahead, one of the classrooms will be transformed into a museum, preserving and celebrating the site’s educational heritage. This museum will serve as a lasting tribute, offering visitors an immersive experience into the past while inspiring future generations. The blend of historical preservation and contemporary learning spaces will ensure that the Classroom Buildings remain a place of education, reflection, and community engagement for years to come.
