4.  Update on the Caldwell Bradford Schoolhouse, 16401 Davidson-Concord Road, Davidson

The owner of the Caldwell Bradford School is seeking landmark designation.

The small front-gabled Caldwell Bradford School (now remodeled as a home) is well documented in the records of the Mecklenburg County School System.

It is the only identified surviving schoolhouse that predates the consolidation movement of the 1920s and is the only rural school that has retained its rural setting.

HL Staff is prepared to help fund the report for this property if the schoolhouse is added to the Study List and if the Survey Committee is supportive of landmark status for the property.
