Well done -some further ideas[edit]

Fascinating article. Who does the school belong to now ? Can researchers of African-American studies stay there while using the library? Some more material on the objections to the school from written records would be useful and whether any statement about the decision to close was made, presumably to ensure the safety of the girls from the local savages.--— Tumadoireacht ^Talk/_Stalk 05:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

contradiction?[edit]

According to the wiki article on Prudence Crandall, the school building was burned by the mob, as well as the windows being smashed. This article on the house/school states that it is 95% intact, as built. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hubcats (talk • contribs) 01:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
