This building currently serves as the Community Building of Piney Grove United Methodist Church in Boring, Maryland. It has been in existence before the church was built, and possibly served as a school for Black children, both free and slaves during the slavery era. It definately served as a one-room school building from the 1800s into the 1900s, and was one of the first schools recognized as a public school for Black childrens in 1872 by the Schools Commissioners of Baltimore County.
