Terry Meyers, retired English professor of College of William and Mary, discovered that the building once housed the Bray School, a school for Black children in the 1760s.
WILLIAMSBURGÂ â Beginning in 1760, two dozen or so enslaved and free Black children attended school each day in a small two-story cottage in Williamsburg, a location suggested by Benjamin Franklin. They learned the tenants of Christianity, reading, proper behavior and why they should accept enslavement.
Thanks to a retired College of William & Mary professor and a series of archeological tests, Colonial Williamsburg has made a discovery â the school s building still stands on William & Maryâs campus. Until last month, the universityâs military science department used it as storage for binders, weight scales and old class photos.

VSU’s renovation of the Brown Hall bathrooms has reached the demolition phase, with a goal of completion before the beginning of the fall 2021 semester.
According to Dr. Chu, there hasn’t been a run-in with concerns or complications at this point.
“The projected timeline of completion is this July with it being move-in ready by this fall,” Dr. Zduy Chu, director for housing and residence life, said.
This could give ease to the students who will be moving in to Brown Hall by fall 2021.
“The deadline of the project seems to be clearer than it was back in January, but things could change if new complications arise, as the deadline is simply projected”, said Dr. Chu.
