Ellicott City Colored School

Project Description

 

Complete interior and exterior restoration to the former one-room schoolhouse for African-American children, circa 1880. It was used until 1953 when a new segregated school was built nearby. It was then used as a church before being abandoned. It is now an historic site and shows its visitors the experience of attending a segregated institution.

 

Restoration included restoring siding, windows, doors and walls to their original look. A new roof was installed and interior finishes were put in to replicate the look of the original old schoolhouse.

"During the renovation project at Galesville Community Center (Rosenwald School) it was obvious that Albrecht Construction's  management was extremely conscientious regarding the quality of workmanship, safety of their employees and the sub-contractors and adherence to the construction schedule. They also worked closely with us to minimize change orders and cost overruns. We are very proud of our historic renovated building and the quality of the building makes a lasting first impression to all.... The Galesville Community Center Organization, Inc. would highly recommend this construction company to others and gladly work with them again in the future. Albrecht Construction has a wealth of experience working on historic buildings."
