Built in 1923 to address overcrowding of a 1915 building, the school was the city's first purpose-built segregated school for African-Americans. It was built by Samuel M. Plato, a prolific local African-American building contractor, and is Renaissance Revival in style. It was enlarged in 1954 and again in 1969 in an attempt to stave off forced integration. It was renamed Jessie R. Carter Elementary School in 1970, and was finally integrated in 1975.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1] It presently houses the West End School, a private boarding school.
