Carter Park Elementary School opened on February 11, 1958 with 20 
permanent classrooms, one art room, a kindergarten room,and a library,
and could accommodate an enrollment of 700 students. The school 
replaced frame buildings on the site. The land for the school had been

Carter, Jr., and Mrs. J. Lee Johnson (Mrs. Ruth Carter Stevenson). 
 
Robert P. Woltz, Jr. was the architect and Cain and Cain was the 
general contractor. The 1- and 2-story structure is constructed of 
orange and polychrome yellow brick with cast piers used between blocks
of windows. Most window openings have been partially infilled with 
panels. Renovations completed in 2001 included a new library, an 
expanded cafeteria and kitchen, 12 classrooms, and new office.

its integrity, the building will be potentially eligible for the
