History

It was built in 1923–1924 as a Rosenwald School for African American students during the Jim Crow era, and is a one-story, three-bay frame rectangular structure with weatherboard siding. It stands on a brick pier foundation.

In 1930, the Central High School in Charlotte Court House, Virginia was the first public school for African American students in the area. The school operated until 1959, when it was closed due to desegregation of the Charlotte County school system.
