(S.W. Corner E. Rosedale St.) [Originally recorded as 1200 Block, S. Freeway] Southside Colored School No. 134 was located on this site as early as 1894. A new three-story brick schoolhouse, designed by Sanguinet & Staats, was erected in 1917-18 (now demolished). Two-story brick buildings, housing additional classrooms, were constructed in 1927 and 1937, the earlier of the two also designed by Sanguinet & Staats. The school was renamed for James E. Guinn, a principal at the turn of the century. The two surviving structures on the site have not been documented clearly. The school served the Southside’s black children prior to integration of the Fort Worth school system. With more complete documentation, the surviving buildings may be eligible for the National Register for their role in local black history. Wiley G. Clarkson designed the 1927 building. The 1937 building, which was used for junior high students, was designed by Elmer G. Withers. Also on the campus is a combination gymnasium/shop/music building that was designed by Wyatt C. Hedrick and constructed in 1953. The entire James E. Guinn School campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 for its association with the education of black youth in Fort Worth and was designated as a City of Fort Worth Historic and Cultural Landmark in 2000. It is now owned by the City of Fort Worth. The1937 building was rehabilitated in 2000-03 into a Business Assistance Center. The architect for the project was Komatsu Architecture. In 2004, a business incubator for high technology start-up companies opened in the gymnasium building. The rehabilitation project also was designed by Komatsu Architecture. The same firm designed the rehabilitation of the 1927 building for additional space for the Business Assistance Center, including a conference room, library, computer lab and training space. Groundbreaking for this project was held April 25, 2007. The photo to the right was taken of the 1927 building in 2006. The lower two photographs are of the 1937 building and the 1953 gymnasium, respectively. These photos were also taken in 2006.
