Emory/Tunstall School
Greensboro, AL
Window, roof and other building repairs are badly needed at the Emory/Tunstall School.
The Emory/Tunstall School was built in 1925. It is not currently in use.
The grant funds will be used to carry out the second and third phases a larger rehabilitation project. Phase 2 will include interior and exterior work to improve the septic system; roof and window repairs and replacements; and masonry repairs and painting. Phase 3 will focus on creating an oral history of the school as well as others in the Hale County.
Once restored, the building will be used as a community center and cultural heritage museum.
The Hale Empowerment & Revitalization Organization (HERO) will manage the restoration project.
