Chatsworth School is a one-room schoolhouse located in the Antioch Community of the Varina District in Henrico County. It was built in 1915 to educate African American children in grades one through four during the segregation era of public education. A teacher taught all grades in this one room. The curriculum consisted of a variety of subjects, from bookwork to banking. The School had no electricity, running water, nor a restroom. Chatsworth was one of approximately 23 schoolhouses supervised by the visionary educator, Mrs. Virginia Randolph, a Henrico County resident. The school closed in 1956.
The Chatsworth property was acquired by Antioch Learning Center, which is a branch of Antioch Baptist Church. The Church recognized the historical significance of the property and endeavored to preserve this treasure to show the historical significance of the school to the community, civil rights history and the historical culture of African Americans.
Chatsworth School was restored in 2018. Many original materials were used during the restoration to retain the integrity of the structure. The school was added to the Henrico County Historic Register in 2003. Chatsworth School was added to the State and National Landmark Registers in 2022.ou've chosen a terrific way of integrating images and text into your website.
