It now serves as the Addor Community Center.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the school is a largely intact example of Rosenwald schools built for African-American children, tied to local education and black ethnic heritage. It is linked to the Addor community's education efforts, the Rosenwald Fund's philanthropy, and the segregated education system in the South. The building has changed only minimally and still serves as a community gathering place.","narrative":"Built in 1922 near Addor in southeastern Moore County, the Lincoln Park School is a one-story, side-gabled, weatherboarded building that follows Floor Plan No. 400 of the Rosenwald Fund's Bulletin No. 3. Four classrooms are arranged around a central brick chimney flue, and two east classrooms open through wooden pocket doors to form an auditorium. The Julius Rosenwald Fund supplied the standardized plans, while construction drew on public money, the local black community and the Fund. Albert S. Gaston, principal from 1921, helped raise the funds locally. The school served African-American children for twenty-seven years, and the district's court cases reportedly fell after it opened. It closed as a school in 1949 and has operated as the Addor Community Center since 1952, hosting gatherings, meals, and programs. Its largely original interior and exterior fabric are cited as its main claim to significance.","period_of_significance":"1922-1946","architect_builder":"The Julius Rosenwald Fund","architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Decommissioned as a school in 1949; has served as the Addor Community Center since 1952, with minor changes for continued use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.284472-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/64/7214/47721464/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/97000167.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721464","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Park_School_(Pinebluff,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19986809"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/moore-county/lincoln-park-school-97000167/"}
