The River Rock School.
Gereaux, Teresa Thomas
Now & Then, v16 n1 p30-33 Spr 1999
In the early 1920s, the small Appalachian community of Damascus, Virginia, used private subscriptions and volunteer labor to build a 15-classroom school made of rocks from a nearby river and chestnut wood from nearby forests. The school building's history, uses for various community activities, and current condition are described. (SV)
