The Beulah Rucker House-School is a historic building in Gainesville, Georgia. It was built in 1915 by Beulah Rucker Oliver, an African-American educator, as a historically black school until 1920, when it received funding for the construction of more buildings adjacent to this one from the Rosenwald Fund. [2] Oliver, her husband and their four children lived in the house until she died in 1963. [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 4, 1995. [1] It is now known as the Beulah Rucker Museum. [3]
