From this location, you can view the former Coon High School. Formerly Wilson High School, this building was renamed to honor Charles L. Coon, an early advocate for public school reform.
According to the article for Charles L. Coon’s North Carolina State Historical Marker, . n 1904 Coon was appointed the first state superintendent of Negro normal schools. Coon sought to improve facilities and curriculum for black students, often stirring controversy for his plans to finance black education, giving a speech to that effect in Atlanta in 1909 entitled “Public Taxation and Negro Schools,” for which he was highly criticized by the News and Observer of Raleigh. “
Since its restoration in 2003, the building has been used for apartments.
