Old Pleasant City Elementary School
The Pleasant City Elementary School, at 501 21st St. in the Pleasant City neighborhood, was one of two black schools in West Palm Beach, Florida. It began on the first floor of the Mt. Parnassus Odd Fellows Hall, built in 1914 and designed by black architect Hazel Augustus. The School Board purchased and renovated the building in 1926. After school integration in the 1960s, the city purchased it and turned it into the Pleasant City Community Multicultural Center, which incorporated as a non-profit in 1994. As of 2004 it was a performance venue.[1]: 57
