From the Rappahannock News, Sept. 20, 2007:

The Scrabble School project began as a grassroots effort by alumni of the African-American graded school (1921-1968) to raise awareness of the value of this historically and culturally significant building in the Castleton area. This initial effort continued, gained support of the local community and the Board of Supervisors designated the site as the Rappahannock Senior Center and Heritage Center. The building went to the drawing board and with the assistance of Craig Barton, Director of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, UVA, has a planned rehab for its adaptive reuse for the two Centers. This project will meet both the dream of many and provide much needed space for the County's more than 55 seniors that use the current small facility. [for complete article, see the Rappahannock News]
