Summary
| Description |
English: This is the Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School, located in what was historically an African-American section of Mars Hill, North Carolina. The school was constructed with funding from the Rosenwald fund, a partnership set up by Julius Rosenwald, whom was a part-owner and president of Sears, Roebuck & Co during the early 20th Century, and African American leader, educator, and philanthropist Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee Institute. The school was constructed to educate the African-American children of Mars Hill in 1928, and is a "local modification of Floor Plan No. 20 for a “Two Teacher Community School to Face East or West Only” from the Rosenwald Fund’s Community Schools Plans, Bulletin No. 3," according to the nomination form. The school served Madison County and parts of Yancey County from 1928 until 1965, when it closed following school integration in North Carolina. It is apparently one of only two extant Rosenwald Schools in the westernmost portion of the state (the other being at Brevard), and was restored thanks to a community effort spanning the years 2009 to 2019. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. |
