City Directories and History: Established as early as 1811, this
building was constructed in 1886, as a continuation of an early antebellum academy.
On May 19, 1887 the Herald reported supporting the idea of a graded school for Rock Hill, it described the Graded School in Marion, S.C. – “In a building which cost $5,500., built by private subscription. This is a brick building of two stories with a tin roof. The citizens of Marion pay a local tax which supports the local school with four teachers.”
