Under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, an abolitionist organization based in New York, the federal Freedmen's Bureau built a two-room schoolhouse on this lot in 1868-1869. The building was also used by the Baptist church until it was moved to an adjacent lot in 1887. It served as a school for African Americans from 1869 to 1912.
