Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church and School-Notasulga, Alabama
Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church and School were founded in 1916 and 1922, respectively. The school is the only Rosenwald school that is still standing in Macon County, Alabama.
The church and school were one of the locations during the Tuskegee Syphilis Study where participants were told to meet so the United States Public Health Service officials could pick them up for treatment or lack thereof.
The church and school were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The school went under restoration in 2011.
Cusseta School-Cusseta, Alabama
Mars Hill School-Acworth, Georgia
Built in 1873 by the Mars Hill Presbyterian Church, the school was deeded to Cobb County schools in 1902. It was used for public education until 1938.
Wheeland Church and School-Little Mountain, South Carolina
Queendale/Shiloh School-Townville, South Carolina
At first glance, this seems to a be a Rosenwald School, but it doesn’t have the hallmark bays of windows. There are Rosenwald Schools that deviate from Rosenwald plans, and there are many schools that used the plans because of their efficient designs.
I agree with the assessments made by Random Connections and the South Carolina Picture Project. Shiloh Baptist Church does share the property with the school. The oral history of any older church members would be needed to verify.
The Rosenwald database is currently down and is anticipated to return in the Summer of 2023. While the site is being revamped, it may not have additional info. I did search some out-of-print books on South Carolina education and Rosenwald schools and found nothing.
