Selma School House-Appling County, Georgia

According to the Rosenwald database at Fisk University, the Selma School was a two-teacher type school built for $1702.00.

The Model Rural School-Floyd County, Georgia

My assumption this is a early building for the Model school that exists now.

Spring Creek Industrial School-Early County, Georgia

Even though the Rosenwald database confirms there were two Spring Creek schools in Early County, the dates listed don’t match with the date of the report. Since the database is incomplete, I am uncertain of where this is located. This is courtesy of a 1918 report on Georgia education.

St. Joseph’s School-Macon, Georgia

I assume that this is one of the earlier buildings for St. Joseph’s Catholic School. This building does not appear to still stand on the school’s campus. If you know if this building is still standing and where it is, please let me know.

Queensland Industrial School-Queensland, Georgia

Smithville High School-Smithville, Georgia

I don’t believe this school still stands unless it’s been incorporated in the current Smithville High School.
