Introduction The '''Mount Sinai School''' is a historic Rosenwald School in rural Autauga County, Alabama, USA, northwest of Prattville. The one-story frame building was built in 1919 to the designs of W.A. Hazel to serve the local African American community. The money to build it was provided by the Julius Rosenwald Fund. The school was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 2, 2001.It was subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2001, as a part of The Rosenwald School Building Fund and Associated Buildings Multiple Property Submission.The school was founded in c. 1891 while holding classes in the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, and had its first building financed by the students’ parents. The original building was located between the church and the train station in Booth. The original building was blown down in an assumed storm, and the school relocated back to the church before the building was rebuilt at its current site. As of 2001, it is owned by the Mt. Sinai Community Center.
