Jesse Reno School, Historic school building in Tenleytown, Washington, D.C.
The Renaissance-style Jesse Reno School features eight classrooms distributed across two levels with large windows providing natural light throughout the structure.
Municipal architect Snowden Ashford designed this educational facility in 1903 to serve African American students residing west of Rock Creek Park.
The school supported the Reno City community, which formed during the Civil War when formerly enslaved individuals established a settlement near Fort Reno.
Located at 4820 Howard Street NW, the building underwent extensive renovation in 2014 and now connects to Deal Middle School.
The structure housed a Civil Defense office after 1950, complete with antenna towers before transitioning into the Rose School for special education.
