Yelverton School is gone.
One of only three official Rosenwald Schools still more-or-less standing in Wilson County, it was recently demolished.
I understand the building was in bad shape, but wish its owner had reached out beforehand to discuss features from its historic interior that might have been salvaged.

Arsonists set fire to two East Wilson houses on 17 August 2022, resulting in the demolition of one. After putting out an early morning blaze at 804 East Vance Street, firefighters were dispatched to 810 East Green, one of an original set of five identical rental houses William Hines built in the mid-1920s. Fire damaged the house extensively, and it had to be torn down.
