Talk:Carpenter Schools

development
Hey, the language in the lede is confusing. Currently it reads "Carpenter School No. 1 and Carpenter School No. 2, in Natchez, Mississippi, were two of three buildings built and donated to the city by the city's philanthropic Carpenter family (see below) for public schools in Natchez. Besides the three schools, the family built and then donated many other structures to the city,...." What is the other building? The schools are 2 of 3 buildings, but there are many other structures that are not buildings, also donated by the same family? Hmm, re-reading it i see it may not actually be incorrect. But it would be less likely to cause confusion if reworded as: "Carpenter School No. 1 and Carpenter School No. 2, in Natchez, Mississippi, were two of three public schools built and donated to the city of Natchez by the city's philanthropic Carpenter family (see below)."

And, the infobox is confusing. The purple bars each followed by an official name row seem to separate out an area for each of the two schools. But the area above the first bar also seems to be about the first school. I don't understand it! Hope these comments help somehow. I noticed mention of this article at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation. --doncram (talk) 21:15, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Inaccurate?
The building shown in postcard images as Carpenter School 2 still stands at Washington & M L King Streets in Natchez. However no building looking remotely like the postcard of Carpenter School 1 can be seen at nor near the 100 block of N. Union Street - see google street view or similar. Might it have been '''#2"' that underwent renovation described? What happened to #1 - either the address is wrong or it is long gone. Wondering, -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:37, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, perhaps it was just the address that was wrong - building shown in postcard of #1 found at 706 North Union Street - address changed in description accordingly. (More specific references would still improve article.) -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:48, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
