African American Schoolhouse, Sail Loft (208 Tilghman St)

Built in 1899 as a segregated school, it supported the growing number of Oxford’s Black children until 1934. Downs and Albert Curtis then leased 

 the space for their sale making business while the small structure between the building and street served as a neighborhood restaurant owned by Nelly Leatherby.

To return to Route 333 and Easton, continue up Tilghman Street then turn left on Morris Street. If you are wishing to take the ferry to Bellevue, take a right on Morris Street.
