Vintage Baseball Ticket c1915-1920 Eastern College Front Royal v Delaplane
In addition to the Delaplane School that was constructed for African American children in the area, a school for white children was constructed around 1915. Also known as the Delaplane School, the building was located on the southeast side of the Delaplane Grade Road (Route 712) just south of the Westminster Church. Exhibiting distinctive design with Craftsman influence, the school was distinguished by a two-story tower, complicated rooflines, and a center-arched vestibule. The four-room school, which closed around 1925, burned in the 1990s. The Delaplane School most likely replaced the smaller Rock Hill School, constructed around 1870 (ghr.virginia.gov)
Eastern College had been founded at Front Royal, VA in 1902. Like many schools at the time, Eastern attempted to attract a number of different clientele. School ads in the Richmond Times Dispatch list collegiate, academic, preparatory, business, music, arts, drawing, elocution and normal programs. The “no hazing” policy figured prominently in the ads. Following a fire that destroyed one of the main buildings, Eastern College moved to Manassas in 1909, occupying the Baldwin House and part of the Manassas Improvement Corporation building until new buildings could be constructed. There, it soon enrolled 184 students—many local but others representing 22 states and two foreign countries. The World Almanac for 1919 lists enrollment at 175 with 30 more “in colors.” While the school was non-denominational, it had a College Christian Association. There were two literary societies—Washington Irving and Jeffersonian. With a conservatory of music, Eastern featured recitals as well as debates during commencement week. The school was “financially burdened,” and the “demands of creditors" forced closure in 1920. (lostcolleges.com)
