Melrose School was an educational, cultural, and civic center of the Orange Mound African-American community. Completed in the New Deal's Public Works Administration in 1938, the Dallas building structure added to the original Rosenwald School's capacity to accommodate students in grades 1–12. The first senior class graduated in 1946. Well-known for its academic programs, theater, and sports, the Park-Dallas school closed in 1979. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 2001.
