The Prentiss Institute Rosenwald School was built in 1929 and is not in use while undergoing major renovations.
To date, the project is 50% complete after the first phase of work. The grant funds will be used to finish the restoration completely which includes flooring, electrical work, HVAC, painting and interior and exterior finishing. The roof and windows were repaired/replaced in Phase I.
Once complete, the building will be used as a community auditorium, meeting place, African-American Museum and Resource Library.
The Prentiss Institute Board of Trustees will manage the restoration project. To learn more, contact Tracy Hayes in the Southern Regional Office.
