In 1952, 4 additional classrooms were added to the south end of the building.  The school served grades 1 through 8 in the "Savannah Community" of Jackson County, North Carolina.  In 1973, after 33 years of existence, the school was abandoned and sold at public auction. 

Now owned by Richard and April Hatch, the Old School Antique Mall has become a quality antique mall whose reputation has spread by word of mouth via the visitors who come each year to enjoy the beautiful Smoky Mountain area and to visit our antique mall.
