I’m not sure this will matter, because folks love a good deal. The building is a great price & nice so I get it, that’s the reason I wanted it. I paid my deposit 7 months in advanced. No one followed up on my deposit once it was received & I only know it was received because I sent it certified mail to ensure that it was reviewed. When I called to make sure I was booked it was as if I was bothering them, if someone sends you a check & contract maybe YOU should reach out to them to solidify things, just a thought. I never received a way to get into the building until the day of, when I called them. I will suggest that The City of Archer have a better system for renting this building.

The Alachua County Board of Public Instruction contracted with the firm of Winston and Perry to build a 3-story brick building for the Archer School, west of an old wood frame building, in 1917.

In 1969, the school consolidated with the local African-American school, and moved to a new location. The old brick school was demolished in 1972. This gymnasium building remained.
