Built to serve Glencoe Mill community and the nearby families, this 1930s Craftsman-style building is a rare example of a rural brick school in Alamance County. The school has tremendous potential for re-use as a school, or to develop as a business or residential units. The beautiful rural setting near the Haw River features mature oak trees, and is convenient to a number of amenities including the 1880s Glencoe Mill Village, Big Bend Park, and the Indian Valley Golf Course. Development opportunities for the property are endless. The nearby 22-acre Glencoe Land Parcel could be a good pairing with the Glencoe School. The site would be ideal for a small rural enterprise, such as a winery, which could make use of the 22 acres as a vineyard, and the Glencoe School as retail, office, tasting room, and/or restaurant.
The school has a hipped roof and wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters. Additional exterior features include large metal doors with glass block transoms, twelve-over-twelve double hung windows, and decorative brickwork panels on each of the front entrance walls.
The building has two front entry wings, five original classrooms, office space, boys and girls restrooms, and an auditorium/gymnasium in the main front section. The rear ell contains a kitchen and cafeteria.
Interior features include maple floors, beadboard, sanded plaster walls, simple pine molding, and transoms over the classroom doors with starburst pressed glass panels.
Individually listed on the National Register, the Glencoe School is eligible for historic preservation tax credits.
Purchase financing may be available.
