Construction of the new Yamacraw Village housing project began in February 1939 under the direction of the newly createdHousing Authority of Savannah. New residents had to apply for space in the homes, which came decorated, furnished andfitted with modern appliances. Yamacraw Village officially opened on April 11, 1941. The new housing project featuredlandscaping, sidewalks, outdoor lighting and a community center designed to resemble the Hermitage Plantation, demolishedin the 1930s. The Housing Authority of Savannah renovated Yamacraw Village in 1990. The renovations converted the originalsingle-family units into three bedroom units and included the demolition of several of the houses for increased parking.

her Oswald Moosmueller, O.S.B., a Benedictine, aided

new parish of the Sacred Heart, whose members were

. Father Oswald, as he was known in the community, wanted

en a school at the church for African American children in

entary English studies. The lower floor of the church opened

s a school for African American boys and girls in April, 1881, with

around twelve students who were taught by a Miss Ellen Kelly. In

1882, the Sisters of Mercy took charge of the school and

attendance grew from 70 to 125.

Activities at School To keep up with the rapid growth of the school, church officials

began construction of a dedicated school building on the property

in 1883. Basic subjects included English studies, spelling, reading,

writing, and arithmetic. More advanced students were also taught

geography and music, among other subjects. It is possible that the

Diocese used funds from Abraham Beasley’s estate to

build the new school. By 1886, 160 pupils attended the

school, which was still run by the Sisters of Mercy. During

this year, the school began to offer an industrial curriculum

of sewing, knitting, and crochet to the female students of

the school.

Mathilda Beasley’s name does not appear associated with the Sacred Heart

Church or school until 1887, when her dream of educating African Americans

came true and the school became an orphanage under her direction. The

school and orphanage operated as the Sacred Heart Orphanage from 1887 to

1891. In 1892, the name of the school changed to the Saint Francis Home,

according to city directories. Around the time that the school name changed,

city directory listings for the school also change from listing Mathilda Beasley as

the Manager in 1892, to listing her as Mother Beasley, Mother Superior, in1893. During the years 1894-1897, city directory listings for the orphanage

consistently list the number of "inmates" as between 30 and 40.
