http://dbpedia.org/resource/Marion_Colored_High_School an entity of type: Thing
The Marion Colored High School is a historic school building at the northwest corner of Arkansas Highway 77 and Gannt Street in Sunset, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick structure, roughly in an H shape, with hipped roofs on the wings. The oldest portion of the building, a U-shaped section, was built in 1924 with funding from the Rosenwald Fund, and was extended to its present shape sometime before 1940. The original construction is of load-bearing brick, while the added wings are frame construction finished in a matching brick veneer. It was the first school built for African-American students in the area, originally serving grades 1–8. In 1937 the school acquired high school status, and served students from four states in the region, prompting its enlargement. In 1955 it was remodeled
