Hard Hat Tour of Moore Street School

Hard Hat Tour of Moore Street School | Thursday, September 19, 6-8 p.m. | 1113 Moore St | Single Ticket $25
Moore Street School was constructed in 1887 and was the first of three very similar structures designed by Colonel Wilfred Emory Cutshaw, Richmond’s City Engineer from 1874 – 1905. The school was originally built as an African American Elementary School and most recently has been used by George Washington Carver Elementary School.

Currently owned by Richmond Public Schools, the building has fallen into disrepair. In recent years, led by Jerome Legions, citizen activists came together to create the Moore Street School Foundation. A resident of the Carver Community and Carver Area Civic Improvement League president, Mr. Legions is a citizen activist focused on saving and re-engaging historic Moore Street School for the community. The mission of the Moore Street School Foundation is to bring this historic structure back online through the following steps: acquisition, stabilization, preservation and community utilization.

Free parking is available any time after 5 p.m. in the parking lot behind the Virginia Department of Transportation (1401 E. Broad Street). If driving East on Broad, take a right on Old 14th Street to access the parking lot. If approaching via I-95 (exit 74C), take a slight right onto East Broad Street, then immediately move into the far-left lane, so you can turn left onto Old 14th Street at the first light.
