This served the black community of Alapaha until 1954. Recently restored, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a nice example of an African-American vernacular schoolhouse. Mark Dixon writes that Nathan Bridges, Brutus Shipman, and T. H. Smith were the first trustees of the school.
