The Marley Neck Rosenwald School is a historic school building located at 7780 Solley Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It is a single story wood-frame structure measuring 68feetx20feetft (xft), with a gable roof. The school was built in 1927 with design and funding assistance from the Rosenwald Fund, and served the area's African-American students. Out of the original twenty three built, it is one of the ten surviving Rosenwald schools in the county.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. It was used as a church hall then.[2]
Starting around 2008, the building became a community center, intended to offer after-school programs, health care screening, tutoring, and other social services and activities.[3]
