St. Anthony’s School opened in February 1934. The Art-Deco-influenced building was designed by the Reverend Michael McInerney, who, according to the Atlanta Constitution, is an “ecclesiastical and instructional architect of Belmont Abbey.” It cost $40,000 to construct.
It is listed as a contributing property on the Historic West End’s application to the National Register of Historic Places.
Built in the 1930s, the New Hope Church of God in Christ is an eclectic church. The NRHP application mentions Gothic Revival influences, but the stained glass design is a more modern influence. It is now known as the Hinsley Temple Church of God in Christ. It is a contributing property to the Pittsburgh Historic District.
Edge Hill is a crossroads community in Glasscock County. I have yet to determine location of this Rosenwald school.
Gillis Springs is a small community in Treutlen County. I have yet to determine where this Rosenwald School was located.
The church was the spiritual home of Martin Luther King’s grandparents, Celia and James King. According to the church’s website, the church was founded in 1856. There’s a sign in the cemetery that gives the date if 1853, so I am gathering the cemetery predates the church. Either way, this is an early date for a Black church to be in existence.
The cemetery also has a handful of Eldren Bailey markers.
The schoolhouse sits next to the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in the Honey Creek Community of Rockdale County.
