Photographer: Flat Top Manor blog via Tumblr (PD)
Caption: Sandy Flats School
Additional Description: Moses and Bertha Cone built the school in 1908 for tenant families who lived on their Flat Top Manor estate. Two teachers taught 30 to 60 children in grades 1-8 in the two-room schoolhouse. It operated until 1928, when Blowing Rock schools were consolidated. The building then became Sandy Flats Baptist Church (now Sandy Flat Missionary Baptist Church), which still holds services in the former school building.
