St. John Elementary was a school built in 1922 in Cobham for the education of African-Americans. The school closed in 1954 when the County finally desegregated its schools, and was sold as a private home. The structure was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2018. [1]
St. John Baptist Church is renovating the school for use as a community center. [2]
St. John Family Life and Fitness Center and Building Goodness Foundation have filed a special use permit as part of the C'ville Builds program. [3]
