Cadentown School, Historic African-American school in Lexington, United States
The Cadentown School features a one-story frame structure measuring 22 feet wide and 43 feet deep with a southeast-northwest orientation and gable roof.
Built between 1922 and 1923 with support from the Rosenwald Fund, the school served African-American students in Fayette County until its closure in 1947.
The school building stands as the only remaining Rosenwald Fund School in Fayette County, representing early 20th-century African-American education in Kentucky.
Located at 705 Caden Lane, the structure contains a main classroom, cloak rooms, and a domestic science room with walls designed for natural lighting.
The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government acquired the property in 2005 to preserve this educational landmark, listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
