The Triadelphia District Board of Education bought 1.5 acres from the Wheeling Realty Company for $736.80 on the National Road near “S” Bridge to locate this school. When the negro and white races were segregated, this was intended for the negro elementary school of this district. There was play space back of the school and some shrubbery in front, but there was little effort to beautify the school before the County Unit.

At first there was the outside dry toilets and a pumping the yard was the water supply, but later toilet rooms were built inside the school building. There were two excellent classrooms, upstairs. The downstairs had a furnace which supplied heat through a hot-air gravity system. On this first floor also was a large room for play, community meetings and later hot lunches.

The building has not been used for school since desegregation, but is used as a utility and repair shop by the School Board.
