Alligator Rosenwald School
Columbia, NC
The foundation will be repaired and an HVAC system will be installed at the Alligator Rosenwald School.
The Alligator Rosenwald School was built in 1926. It was used as a polling center until 2002.
The grant funds will be used to repair the building's foundation, install a bathroom and HVAC system, and to refinish the interior.
Once restored, the building serve as a community center for local residents, and an educational and cultural center for visitors to the nearby Palmetto-Peartree Preserve.
The Conservation Fund will manage the restoration project. To learn more, visit www.palmettopeartree.com.
