Researchers rediscover school for black children on William & Mary campus

William & Mary Military Science/Digges House at 524 Prince George St. (WYDaily/Courtesy of William and Mary) The unassuming, small, white building tucked away on Prince George Street houses a lot more history than was originally thought. The building most recently housed offices for William and Mary’s Department of Military Science and is known as the Prince George House on campus. Dendrochronology analysis of the building’s wood framing conducted in 2020 by Colonial Williamsburg researchers confirmed the structure once housed Williamsburg’s Bray School, an institution that educated many of the town’s Black children from 1760 to 1774. The Bray School’s mission was to impart Christian education to Black children and for students to accept enslavement as divinely ordained. The school was suggested for establishment in Williamsburg by Benjamin Franklin.

Colonial Williamsburg joins William & Mary to research, relocate, interpret 18th-century Bray School for enslaved and free black children

Photo - of - by Joseph McClain |  February 25, 2021 A small white building that sits tucked away on the William & Mary campus once held an 18th-century school dedicated to the religious education of enslaved and free Black children, researchers have determined. Now, the university and its neighbor, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, are working together to ensure future generations learn about the history of the building and the stories of those who were part of it. William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg have forged a partnership regarding the future use of the building, now known as the Bray-Digges House, likely the oldest extant building in the U.S. dedicated to the education of Black children. The agreement calls for relocation of the structure to Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, where it would become the 89th original structure restored by the foundation.
