Constructed circa 1921 with $1,000. in assistance from Sears Roebuck president Julius Rosenwald's philanthropic fund, for the purpose of educating local Black children while providing student-teaching opportunities to State Colored Normal School students. The Craftsman-style building was located across Parkview Drive from campus until the 1950s, when it was moved on-campus. At various times it housed cosmetology programs, the Laboratory Kindergarten, and the school laundry.
