Princeton Graded School

Princeton Graded School is a historic Rosenwald school located at Princeton, Johnston County, North Carolina. It was built in 1925–1926, is a six-teacher, H-shaped frame school building sheathed in brick. The building has two additions: a one-story, brick hip-roof extension containing two bathrooms; and a low, one-story, brick, asymmetrical gable-roof section that housed the furnace. It retains an original shed-roof porch supported by Doric order posts. Also on the property are a contributing cemetery (ca. 1934-1961) with less than 20 visible markers and a septic tank (c. 1950). The school was closed by 1973.[2]
