Abstract:

The Russell Rosenwald School, built between Rougemont and Durham in the 1920s, served children in the African American community. It was one of 813 built in NC, the most in any state. It has been restored and is owned by the neighboring Cain's Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Durham. The church makes the historic school building available as a community building.
