Abstract:

Designed by Wilmington architect Leslie Boney, Jr., and built in 1924, Grainger High School in Kinston stands as an example of its architect's colonial style of work. In 1989, the school closed and was purchased by Robert Hill and family and Hillco Ltd. In 1999, the Hill family donated it to North Carolina Preservation. The building will be restored to provide housing to the elderly.
