She said teachers did a good job despite the lack of instructional materials.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tallahassee historians are trying to save what used to be a late 1800s African American schoolhouse that still stands on private property \u2014 and according to local government records, it\u2019s one of six remaining in Florida.\u00a0\u00a0The Leon County Commission voted unanimously, with Commissioner Bill Proctor out of chambers, to add the Lake Hall School building to the Local Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n<p>The commission\u2019s vote also changed the zoning of the property where the schoolhouse sits to protect the structure from being knocked down or significantly altered, a spokesperson for the county said.<\/p>\n<p>The schoolhouse\u00a0was built in\u00a01878 and sits off Thomasville Road and Lake Hall Road, according to the application to register the building as historic.<\/p>\n<p>The schoolhouse is one of just a handful of\u00a0remaining African American one-room schoolhouses in the state of Florida, according to background information on the building reviewed by the\u00a0Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Commission in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe structure is a typical wood building popular during that time. It has a tin roof\u00a0that has survived 150 years of varying degrees of storms,\u201d local researcher Geraldine Seay\u00a0wrote about the building in the application for its registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s dry and is used as a workroom and storage shed by its current owners. While much of the original glass is gone, the window frames remain intact. The walls are also original as are the door-ways, while the steps are in disrepair and one set has been replaced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seay, a retired tenured faculty at Florida A&amp;M University, owns the B Sharps Jazz Cafe in the\u00a0historic Frenchtown neighborhood. She also challenged City Commissioner Curtis Richardson\u00a0for the District 2 seat.<\/p>\n<p>Seay took charge of efforts to register the building from another researcher, Nita Marlene Davis. She said she was concerned about losing the building to the gentrification she saw in\u00a0the area.<\/p>\n<p>Seay and others\u00a0hope to turn it into a historic site and museum.\u00a0The Tallahassee Democrat\u2019s efforts to contact the property owners were un-successful.<\/p>\n<p>Seay reports the wood of the building seems to be cedar and the walls are still intact. The schoolhouse does sit on piers that will need to be repaired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe workmanship on this building can only be described as magnificent. It would be hard to find a building in better condition after 150 years,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Seay will be working with the owners of two properties that the schoolhouse sits on and other community stakeholders \u201cto carve a path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For years, officials discussed moving the historic treasure to land near\u00a0the John G. Riley House and Museum or even Cascades Park.<\/p>\n<p>But moving the old school from its current private property location would have required the building to be disassembled and reassembled board by board.<\/p>\n<p>The building will\u00a0join a list of more than 200 other local sites on the Local Register, which is a separate list from the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Tallahassee-Leon County Local Register of Historic Places\u00a0is an official catalog of sites that are significant historically, architecturally, or culturally, the register website says.<\/p>\n<p>The Architectural Review Board will research buildings and approve their historic measure before sending the application to city or county governments for a public hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Owners of the listed properties will have certain responsibilities once the buildings are listed, but also are given benefits as historic property owners, according to the website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for the building to show people how much agency people were able to scrape together to make something happen in the 1870s,\u201d Seay told the Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>The schoolhouse is a\u00a0\u201cmonument to the work people are able to do no matter what,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>History of the schoolhouse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Rev. Johnny Randolph, the schoolhouse brings back memories of when it took a dime to see a movie. He was a child who walked 3\u00a0miles to class in the one-room building. He\u00a0now is the pastor at\u00a0St. Rosa Primitive Baptist Church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think about those old times and to me, it was something,\u201d the 80-year-old told Seay in a video taken in February as part of oral history documentation.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Seay tells Randolph archaeologists are interested to dig beneath the building to unearth what could be historical treasures as it\u2019s sat untouched for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Randolph recalled fishing in a nearby lake where he said only four houses stood at the time, and where graves may be still undiscovered.<\/p>\n<p>The children who were educated at the schoolhouse in the late 1800s were previously enslaved at the McClay plantation,\u00a0according to the building\u2019s application.<\/p>\n<p>Seay writes that freed African Americans purchased and built their homes on the land and began to farm but needed a school. A local family with the last name of Randolph donated land to Leon County for a school, which opened in 1878, according to the building application.<\/p>\n<p>But Reconstruction and the ensuing \u201cblack codes\u201d instituted to govern newly freed peoples forced the former slaves to sell their land and become sharecroppers, tenant farmers, according to the application.\u00a0The school\u2019s schedule was disrupted by children now needing to help their families work on the farm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn spite of their change in station, the parents insisted on them going to school and to break the cycle of the sharecropper lifestyle,\u201d Seay wrote. \u201cThe parents taught the children that education would be the way out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery morning when school first started, we all had to recite a Bible verse,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then the teacher read a scripture from the Bible. After that, everybody seemed to be of a good solid mind, and they were ready to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The school\u00a0\u2013 which was also used as a voting precinct in 1920,\u00a0according to a notice\u00a0in the Tallahassee Democrat archives\u00a0\u2013\u00a0closed in\u00a01950\u00a0when integration began, according to the application.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, I\u2019ll be able to see that before I leave here,\u201d Randolph said about the project. \u201cSomehow these old buildings are still here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/thewestsidegazette.com\/african-american-one-room-schoolhouse-built-in-1878-added-to-local-register-of-historic-places\/\">African American one-room schoolhouse built in 1878 added to local register of historic places<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/thewestsidegazette.com\">The Westside Gazette<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The schoolhouse\u00a0was built in\u00a01878 and sits off Thomasville Road and Lake Hall Road, according to the application to register the building as historic.
