The David Wilmot Public School For Coloured Children, also known as the J.C. King Educational Building, is located the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Built in 1874, it is a two-story, four-bay, stone building in the Italianate-design presumably of Lewis H. Esler (1819-1883), a prominent architect employed by the Philadelphia Board of Public Education. [2]
An addition was built in 1908. It features brownstone sills and arches and a gable over the entrance opening.[3] It was named for U.S. political figure and abolitionist, David Wilmot (1814–1868).
