Lincoln School, established in 1864, was a school for African American students in Washington, DC. The school was built after students outgrew classroom space in nearby Little Ebenezer United Methodist Church. [1] [2]
In March 1864, the government of the District of Columbia opened a school for African American students of all ages within the Little Ebenezer United Methodist Church. [3] The school, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, was the first government-sponsored school for African Americans in Washington, D.C. [4] [3]
Emma V. Brown and Frances W. Perkins were the school's first teachers. Perkins had been sent to Washington by the New England Freedmen's Aid Society of Boston. [4] [3]
The student body quickly outgrew its church space. Perkins, a white woman from New England, returned North and raised the funds needed for the construction of a new school. A lot was purchased in C Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets, SE, and construction on a new school building began. [3]
The new school building opened in winter of 1864 and was named Lincoln School. The building was a two-story structure with two classrooms on each floor. [1] A larger brick building replaced the smaller building in 1871. [3]
The office of the superintendent of 'Colored' schools was located within the school. [1]
Lincoln School operated until 1947 and was later demolished. The Capitol Hill Hotel now stands on the school's former lot. [1]
