At my request, the State Historic Preservation Office of North Carolina, Division of Historical Resources, forwarded a copy of its file on Yelverton School. It’s a slim folder containing four pages: a Historic Property Survey Summary; N.C. Rosenwald School Search Form; and two print-outs from the Fisk University Rosenwald Fund Card File Database.

Yelverton School was built circa 1925 as a frame, side-gabled, two-teacher-type Rosenwald school. A front-gabled projecting wing was flanked by two recessed entries, and its windows were nine-over-nine and six-over-six sash.

The Fisk database print-outs contain two breath-taking photographs of Yelverton School, seemingly taken around the time the school was built. The first was taken straight-on, young pines standing in the background. The second shows the rear elevation.

An unidentified man approaches the school through what appears to be broomsedge.

Fisk’s Rosenwald database is undergoing digitalization; I look forward to closer examination of these images when available online.
