Shulls Mill School Restoration, 1963, photo 3

In 1963, the Shulls Mill School was donated to Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967). With the support of the Southern Appalachian Historical Association, the building was moved to a location adjacent to the Daniel Boone Theater for renovation and preservation. Shulls Mill School, built in 1884, was one of the first one-room schoolhouses in Watauga County, and one of its first teachers was Appalachian State co-founder and president Blanford Barnard Dougherty. The unrestored building in its original location can be seen in the background. It burned in 1967. Also seen is David Barnard Dougherty, vice president and comptroller of Appalachian State (1955-1965), standing on the left.
