The historic Vienna School, later known as the Jenkins School (elementary, I believe), was lost to fire this afternoon. It was most recently home to Faith Christian School.
Addison Langley just wrote: “I lived just down from this school for many years, was babysat in the kids class by my aunt and played so much on that play ground. It currently is on fire. I’m so sad to see this beautiful place burn and truly disappear.“
I’m saddened to read this news. I drive by this building often on my way through Vienna.
It’s a shame to see so many of these historic schools abandoned, neglected, then lost. It seems like a pattern. They could be put to so many good uses…
