Concord School (Franklin County, North Carolina)
The Concord School, currently called the Concord Community Center, is a historic Rosenwald School located at 645 Walter Grissom Road between Kittrell and Franklinton in northwestern Franklin County, North Carolina.[3] Built in 1922 and primarily financed by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation, the school is a single story, hip-roofed frame building which consisted of three classrooms, a three-bay industrial room and a cloakroom.[3] The Concord School served African-American students within the local community until it closed in 1955. Students were then moved to the B.F. Person School (now Franklinton Elementary School) in nearby Franklinton.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[1] Recently restored in 2022, the Concord School is currently managed by a non-profit organization with member alumnus and used as a community center.[4] References
