The document provides details about the layout and history of an old train depot that has been converted into a school. It describes several key areas of the building including the front office, main lobby/commons area, original doors and windows, media center, guidance office, missing walls, and more. The building has 4 floors and features the original historic elements alongside modern classroom technology. It serves as both a functioning school and a teaching tool about the building's history as an African American train station.
