The Mary E. Branch School has a layered history tied closely to African American education, segregation, and civil rights in Farmville, Virginia. The building began as the Farmville Colored School in 1926 and was ultimately renamed the Mary E. Branch School in 1939 to honor a pioneering Black educator. The story behind the schools history plays a central role in the desire to reuse the building as a community space. Brownfields fundings has been utilized to address asbestos containing materials, impacts from potential former boiler systems, and reuse planning.
