The Delgado School was built in 1914 and was designed by architect James F.
Gause, Jr.. Originally it was a three-room Neoclassical Revival style
school and was built for children living in the Delgado Cotton Mill village.
It had additions in 1924, 1938 and 1953. In 1940, the school was renamed
for Washington Catlett (1852-1934), a New Hanover County educator and
administrator for fifty-seven years. The school was closed in 1978.
The building is now used for a social service agency for transitional housing.
