Dedicated on February 11, 1928, this Classical-style building was the first building in the U.S. built to honor African Americans for their military service during World War I. Designed by Welch architect Hassel T. Hicks and erected with county funds, it served for many years as a central meeting place for the extended African-American community. It was listed on the National Register in April 1993.
