In 2004, the community deeded the property and building to the Richland County Recreation Commission so that the building could eventually be restored to its original form. In 2009, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through funding secured from the South Carolina Community Competitive Grant Program, Richland County Conservation Commission, and the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Preservation Fund through the Richland County Recreation Foundation, the Commission has worked diligently to restore the school to its original configuration and successfully created a historic community gathering place.
