J. Milton Turner School, Historic school building in Kirkwood, US
The J. Milton Turner School features a two-story U-shaped brick design built in multiple phases between 1925 and 1948 in Meacham Park neighborhood.
The school operated from 1925 until 1977, serving African American students during segregation before closing due to federal mandates addressing racial isolation.
The institution bears the name of James Milton Turner, an African American educator who influenced education and community development in Missouri.
The Kirkwood School District has acquired the building for administrative purposes while maintaining rental spaces for existing tenants.
A $20 million renovation project in 2006 transformed the former segregation-era school into a modern administrative facility.
