Description
We found this school by comparing the 1920 USGS topo map with Maryland state aerial imagery. It was listed in school board announcements between at least 1896 and 1928.
A site visit in 2019 confirms that this building is still standing.
The 1920 USGS topo map shows second church/school symbol adjacent to AME church. Mapped location is the parcel west of the church. Maryland 6-in ortho imagery shows debris and a structure in the woods of this parcel.
