Walnut Cove Colored School, also known as London School, is historic Rosenwald School located at Walnut Cove, Stokes County, North Carolina. It was built in 1921 with a grant from Sears & Roebuck financier, Julius Rosenwald. A condition of the grant was that it had to have local matching funds. Therefore, it was built on land donated by John William Dalton and his brother George Samuel Dalton and with materials provided by The Dan River Lumber Company. Read more on Wikipedia
