Description	Hand drawn locational map showing the footprint of a one room Rosenwald school on Russell Street. The field notes date from July 24, 2001 and are titled "Stewart Co. Cumberland City AME." Contact information for a city alderman interested in the Rosenwald schools is included.
Historical Notes	Field notes suggest that this was a one room Rosenwald School. It is not listed in the Fisk database as having been built with the assistance of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Field notes also suggest an association with Cumberland City AME church. However, a sign on the premises names the cemetery behind the building as Salem Chapel Cemetery. The cemetery includes numerous unmarked graves and at least two grave markers.
