Cumerland Hill School

The Cumberland Hill School was designed by Dallas Architect A.B. Bristol, and is the only remaining 19th Century school building in the city.  It was also one of the first brick school buildings constructed in the Dallas school system.  The school was actually constructed on the site of a pre-Civil War school organized by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Dallas.  The school was closed in 1958, but from 1963 until 1969, the Dallas Independent School District used the building as a vocational center.  In more recent times, the building was restored and converted into office space.
