RESTORING HISTORY

The purpose of this project is to restore the Elkton Colored School located at 205 Booth Street in the Elkton National Register Historic District. This project will re-establish this historical and culturally significant community landmark by 2026 and in doing so the legacy of African American education will be honored. This 5-million dollar project has engaged a development team including Dr. Dale Green of Sulton Campbell Britt & Associates. The team has created a restoration concept that seeks to adaptively reuse and restore the Elkton Colored School (originally built in the late 1800s, improved in 1926 by the Rosenwald fund and expanded in 1960s when it became Cecil County Operations & Maintenance Building). The project will fully utilize the15,000 square feet of developable space. Programmed spaces include archival, research, exhibit, office, classroom and community spaces. Additionally, the development concept includes improvements to the 2- acre site including landscape, signage, lighting and on-site parking spaces.
