Douglass School is located on the southwest corner of Sycamore Ave. and Kings Place. It is located just south of the Douglass Auditorium. The school was an African American school during segregation and closed in 1968. It now houses the community center and is an active building.

This is a one-story classroom building constructed of coursed native sandstone. The roof is a slight gable, and there is a small cross-gable over the east-facing entrance. This entrance has a recessed porch with double metal doors, and wood-covered transom. A similar entrance is located on the north side. The original triple window units have been infilled with concrete block and painted blue. Small window openings have been left in each unit.

There is no WPA shield on the school itself, however, stamped in the sidewalk in front of the entrance is a WPA shield with what appears to be the year 1938. (The auditorium directly to the north is dated 1936).

Project type: Government building (non-park)

Date built or created: 1938
