Building (Library of Congress - Online)
1943, the faculty became entirely African American and in 1950, the AMA transferred Trinity to the state of Alabama. The school was closed in 1970 due to integration.
A school building from the 1950s still stands on the site on Browns Ferry Road site along with a historical marker. There is another historical marker in downtown Athens at the site of the Trinity School Cistern, which comprises the only remaining physical remnant of the 19th-century school.
