About this property

The Chicot County Training School was a historic school building at the corner of Hazel and North School Streets in Dermott, Arkansas. The single story H-shaped building was built in 1929 with funding support from the Rosenwald Fund, a major philanthropic effort to improve educational opportunities for African-Americans. The school was preceded by Dermott Baptist Industrial School, co-founded by Isaac George Bailey, and then Morris Booker High School and Memorial College. It was succeeded by Morris Booker Memorial College. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The school building collapsed and burned after being abandoned. It was delisted from the National Register in 2022.
