Title A name given to the resource Ashburn School Description An account of the resource From Wayne Blue: "The architect for this building as shown was P.E. Dennis of Macon. He was architect for many of the buildings and homes in Ashburn. This building was built in 1899 and was named Ashburn Graded School. The corner stone was moved to what is now the north wing of the building. It reads 1899 Ashburn Graded School Built by the citizens for the advancement of the interests of the Community. Building Committee J.S. Shingler, Chmn W.A.Murray, Secty, J.S. Betts , T.H. Thrasher, G.B. Gorday. I am not sure of exact date but was in early 30's that they had run out of room in the buildings as shown and the Ashburn city board of education decided to tear down the northern building with the bell tower on top and the connecting walk ways. The building torn down on the upstairs had an auditorium. Some people say that the building burned, but there are no records of this. The Wiregrass told the story of how the building was demolished. The new building when completed had as its base the building you see on the right side of screen. There was a north wing (high school) and a south wing (grammer school) added. Also on the rear was an auditorium which seated over 600 with a balcony. The balcony was later closed off for additional classrooms. Under the stage was the lunch room. There are plenty pictures of the school as built. The new building lasted until May 1954 when a fire destroyed the upstairs and the auditorium. The city board of education deeded the property to the county at this time. The county rebuilt the center section downstairs only, the two wings were not damaged. And that is what we now have as the Alternative School."
