I didnt find very much information about this location on the Internet. It was built sometime in the 1930s. During that time Hawkins still had separate schools for white and black students. This was the white school. If judged by the decay of the plywood window boarding I would guess its been sealed up for 10-15 years. Plywood boarding not being a reliable indicator it may even be longer. There were LPs and 45 RPM records found inside and evidence that a private business once operated out of the office. The property shows up in the Wood county tax data as being owned by an accounting firm. Some books and other school artifacts are still present. Update by Raticus: As of a visit to this location today (9/08) this location has been demolished. The gymnasium and community center buildings remain, but are privately owned and in use.
