The creation of a more permanent institution was proposed at a meeting of New Haven citizens in the home of Atwater Treat in 1864.[3] The purpose was to provide for ... the intellectual and moral well being Mary Lucas Hillhouse, daughter of James Hillhouse, purchased land for $5,000 and hired New Haven architect Henry Austin to design the building.[7] Austin donated his design.[8] Money was raised and the building was built in 1864.[4] The brick, gable-roofed building is two stories with an attic and a wide dentillated cornice.[3] The interior staircase includes heavy turned balusters and an oak handrail.[11] The school served as an evening school from 1866 to 1871.[5] Very few educational opportunities for African-American children were available previously. The school then closed in 1874 as African-American children began attending previously all-white public schools,[6] beginning 1869.[7] The building was subsequently used by African-American community organizations, as a parish hall and as a lodge for Prince Hall Masons.[8] The building was sold to the Widow's Son Lodge No. 1 in 1995.[9] The building was renovated by the Masons with help from Gateway Community College, city public schools and Yale University. The one-room Little Red Brick Schoolhouse Museum opened in 1997.[9] See also
