Development notes[edit]

I think the auditorium is a contributing property to one of the area's historic districts? FloridaArmy (talk) 23:08, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I quickly looked over the NRHP registration form and I don’t see mention of the high school or the auditorium.^[1] PigeonChickenFish (talk) 02:41, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Blackbourne College for Girls in Senatobia, MS and the Senatobia Female College related? This source^[2] states Senatobia High School was founded as a school explicitly for White boys but no details were given (such as date of founding or location). Moving this sentence to the talk page for development, it is about an earlier history and earlier campus and it needs more details beyond this sentence in order for inclusion - "C. B. Sisler was the school's principal in 1898".^[3]

Yes, page 14 or section 8 page 9 second paragraph. The College is believed to have given rise to the name for College Street and the art moderne auditorium, a contributing building to College Street Historic District, appears based on maps to be on the same site as the college. Here's the NRHP filing link. It's not appropriate to remove the school's earlier history and represent it as if it was earablished in the 1930s. I have restored and expanded that content.

@FloridaArmy: I moved the sentence temporarily to the talk page, since this section is about an earlier history that has little to no development yet (in order to move this article) - a few choppy sentences isn’t enough for this to be published and have it make cohesive sense.

Despite what the filing above says (not much) it seems to have been Blackbourn or Blackbourne Female College (also often documented as Blackburn Female College) first and then Senatobia Female College later? There was also some litigation over its funding in a will noted here. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:05, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What doesn't make sense is discussing a school that was around in the late 1800s as if it was built in the 1930s. It's misleading and inproper. Why on earth would we leave out decades of the institution's history that we can document? FloridaArmy (talk) 03:07, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, the date the school was founded is missing still. I don’t know why you are trying to pick a fight? I don’t have time for this behavior, best of luck to you. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 03:09, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why would leave out what we know of the school's earlier history? Does leaving out its late 19th century and early 20th century history get us closer to understanding when it was established or whether it was public or private to begin with or what preceded it?

Also inown as Blackbourne College for Girls Mrs. T. D. Moore principal in 1918 per here. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:14, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What was the area's school for African Americans known as through the years? FloridaArmy (talk) 03:15, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Magnolia Heights School, Senatobia was established after desegregation ("segregation academy") FloridaArmy (talk) 03:27, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
