Savannah - early Jackson County school

Description

This undated photograph shows Savannah School (in use 1951-1973). R. O. Higdon served as the school’s first principal from 1941 to 1943. Four additional classrooms were added to the school in 1952. Savannah School consolidated with Webster and Sylva Elementary schools to form Fairview School (currently in use since 1973). The old Savannah School building still stands off of U.S. Highway 74 in Barker’s Creek surrounded by businesses. In 1995, the building was turned into an antique mall. The American Museum of the House Cat shares the space with the Old-School House Antique Mall since 2017, but plans to move to another location.
