Saint Augustine’s College Campus

Originally listed on the National Register in 1980, the Saint Augustine's College Campus Historic District includes the school's oldest extant buildings. A National Park Service grant-funded project required that the district's nomination be augmented in order to rehabilitate resources that are historic, but that did not fall within the original nomination's period of significance. On a pro bono basis, Hanbury Preservation Consulting performed a survey update on all resources within the district. The accompanying Additional Documentation incorporated new research that identified previously unrecognized architects and builders including Silas McBee, G. Murray Nelson, Howard Satterfield, Allen J. Maxwell, Jr, and John Wayman Holmes, who taught industrial education at Saint Augustine's and remained on campus as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The period of significance was extended from 1930 to 1971 which includes the growth of the school into an accredited four- year college. Five additional resources were added to the inventory, notably the plots reserved for Black Greek Letter Organizations, as a contributing site.

The additional information was accepted in August 2021 and a copy of the documentation can be found here.
