Jefferson School, also known as East Elementary and Clifton Forge Elementary East, is a historic school building located at Clifton Forge, Alleghany County, Virginia. It was built in 1926, as a rectangular two-story building is clad in running-bond brick in the Colonial Revival style. It sits on a raised concrete foundation and has ribbons of small-paned double-hung windows and a recessed front entrance.
Previous 1902 Jefferson School (Clifton Forge, Virginia)
A library and cafeteria were not added until 1937, when improvements also included water fountains, a public address system and projector. The town high school built for White Americans in 1928 had a cafeteria and libraries were required for schools by 1902. A two-story rectangular addition was built in 1952. 1952 improvements included more classrooms, an auditorium/gymnasium, an Industrial arts shop and an office for the principal. Teachers had no offices. The school provided primary and secondary school education for African-Americans attending school in the Clifton Forge community from 1926 until 1965.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
The previous building from 1902 is just around the corner from the 1926 school.
