It was the principal school for Black children in Dooly County and reflects efforts by philanthropists, educators and local communities to improve Black education in the segregated South.","narrative":"Built in 1926 on a rise in an African-American neighborhood east of downtown Vienna, this one-story brick building served as the County Training School, the main school for Black children in Dooly County. Its H-shaped plan follows the Rosenwald Fund's six-teacher community school design, with classroom wings on either side of a central auditorium and stage. Office and library rooms flank the entrance. The school cost $17,737 to build, and the Rosenwald Fund contributed $1,700. Small classrooms were added to the wing ends in the 1930s as enrollment grew. Two shop buildings, from 1926 and 1959, supported vocational training. Students attended from first through eleventh grades, including rural pupils who boarded in town. The school was renamed Vienna High and Industrial School in 1959 and closed in 1970 after integration. A state pre-school program then used the building until 2004. It is recognized for its architecture and for its role in education, Black ethnic heritage and social history.","period_of_significance":"1926-1959","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other: Rosenwald six-teacher community school plan","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The school closed in 1970 after integration of the county school system; the Rosenwald building housed a state-funded pre-school program from 1970 to 2004.
