Scope Of Work
Booker T. Washington School (formerly Dover School) was built in 1922 as a state-of-the-art facility to serve African-American students in Dover and the surrounding communities. This was an era when many communities, with the leadership and financial backing of Pierre S. DuPont erected new schools throughout Delaware. It would soon become a focal point of education and a social center for the community. Throughout the early decades, the school expanded to serve additional students and grade levels. With the advent of the school desegregation, the historic building housed a multitude of functions, suffered passive neglect, and came under eventual disuse.
