Mount Olive Baptist Church Mount Olive Baptist Church is a one-story brick cruciform building constructed between 1922 and 1926 with a complex hip and gable roof clad with composition shingles. Set upon a brick foundation with a protruding brick watertable, the sanctuary is a Late Gothic Revival building laid in five-to-one American or common bond. The church features twin corner towers of unequal height, a stained glass oculus above each entrance at the second level, a belfry containing four large pointed arch openings, and a large tripartite Gothic-arched leaded stained glass window flanked by stained glass lancet windows. The sanctuary is accessed from two vestibules within the tower structures. The ceiling, superbly crafted in miter-cornered beaded board planes, mirrors the complexity of the exterior hipped roof and culminates in a box-framed Greek cross. Wade Alston Ford, a young African-American architect from Lake View, South Carolina, designed the church and directed its construction between 1922 and 1926. The church was built with volunteer labor from five craftsmen who were members of the congregation. The church has been an important center of religious and civic activity for the African-American community of Mullins. Listed in the National Register June 15, 2000.
Mt. Zion Rosenwald School Mt. Zion Rosenwald School was built in 1925 as a rural black school. It was significant for its role in the general development of public education for blacks in the state from 1895 to 1954 and also for its role in one of America’s largest non-residential experiments in standardized architecture intended to provide “separate but equal” facilities for white and black school children. The school also acts as a reminder of Julius Rosenwald Fund’s commitment to the improvement of black education and racial cooperation in the south in the early twentieth century. Construction of the project was funded in part by the Julius Rosenwald Fund, which helped build more than 5,300 black school buildings across the south from 1917-1932. To receive money from the Fund, the local black community and local white community both had to contribute. Most of the schools were phased out in the 1940s and 1950s as improved roads and the introduction of school buses allowed consolidation of students into more efficient and larger facilities. The Mt. Zion Rosenwald School was typical in construction of a “two or three teacher” type school. The school is a rectangular frame building with tall exterior windows designed to take advantage of the climate and available light. Listed in the National Register October 12, 2001.
