Oak Hill School is at the entrance to Bowers Park on Hargrove Road. At one point in time there was a Mitchell School in that area.

Okay...I do know the school now. I had an elementary school in mind...sorry. I WILL see if I can get any info, from some people I know, or at the University. Thanks again...Stella

Hi, I live in Tuscaloosa but I am not familiar with Oak Hill School. I would really like to know where this spot is, on Hargrove. There was a school that closed , on 15th Street, at Queen City Ave...and is now a park. Thanks...Stella

I remember that our Sunday School teacher had us make fruit baskets and take them to the "poor house" in Tuscaloosa in the late 1940's. It was located on Hargrove Road.
