Booker T. Washington High School, also known as Grant Junior High School and Grant Elementary, is a historic high school building located near London, Kanawha County, West Virginia. It was built in 1925, and is a two-story, "L"-shaped wire brick building with a rear section in tile block and brick. It is in the Streamline Moderne style. It was built as a high school for African American children during the period of segregated educational facilities. After desegregation in 1956, it was used as a junior high school, then an elementary school. The school closed in June 1986, and is now used as a community center. It was one of two early high schools for African Americans in Kanawha County.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
