Tallahassee historians are trying to save what used to be a late 1800s African American schoolhouse that still stands on private property and according to local government records, it s one of six remaining in Florida.
The Leon County Commission voted unanimously, with Commissioner Bill Proctor out of chambers, to add the Lake Hall School building to the Local Register of Historic Places.
The commission s vote also changed the zoning of the property where the schoolhouse sits to protect the structure from being knocked down or significantly altered, a spokesperson for the county said.
