Julius Rosenwald, a Chicago philanthropist and president of Sears, Roebuck and Co. from 1910 to 1925, helped fund this black school, which was built in 1918. The original two-room structure was named in Rosenwald's honor, and the school's curriculum eventually included grades 1 through 12. It was renamed Richlex in the 1950s, but closed in 1968, when Robert Lee Floyd served as principal.
