Signage Replaced on Military Road School Building

 

   With the assistance of Ms. Kim Williams, National Register Coordinator for the D. C. Historic Preservation Office, missing signage has been replaced on the historic Military Road School building.  The original structure, designed by Municipal Architect Snowden Ashford in 1911 and completed in 1912, closed as a public school in 1954.  Located near Fort Stevens at 1375 Missouri Avenue in northwest D.C., it is the successor to a frame public schoolhouse that was among the first handful of Civil War era schools built in 1864 and 1865 to serve the influx of freedmen into the capital city. The Latin American Bilingual (LAMB) Public Charter School, which purchased the building from the District of Columbia government, restored its exterior and has expanded the site to include additional facilities.
