It also served as Hapeville's only white elementary school from 1915 until 1932, on a site used for education since 1888.","narrative":"College Street School is a two-story brick school at 580 College Street in Hapeville, south of Atlanta. The central block went up in 1915 to replace a brick school that burned in September of that year, just before classes were to begin. Atlanta architects Battle and Barili designed it in a restrained Craftsman style, with large-paned wooden windows and some half-timbered decoration on the front facade. A central hall gives every classroom an exterior wall. In 1932 George Harwell Bond designed additions on both ends, adding eight classrooms, a library and an auditorium, matching the original design. The building was Hapeville's only white elementary school from 1915 to 1932, and briefly housed high school grades in the late 1930s. Children from the Georgia Baptist Children's Home also attended. The school closed in 1970 and was later used for special education before standing vacant. The city and its development authority acquired it in 1993. It was listed for its architecture and its role in local education.","period_of_significance":"1915-1945","architect_builder":"Battle and Barili, Atlanta, Architects (1915); Bond, George Harwell (for additions, 1932)","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century American Movements/Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Closed as a school in May 1970, later used as a Special Education Department, and described as vacant in recent years; bought by the City of Hapeville and the Hapeville Development Authority in July 1993.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.990772-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/95000902.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"09000824","name":"Hapeville Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/hapeville-historic-district-09000824/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93208136","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/fulton-county/college-street-school-95000902/"}
