The Goffe Street Special School for Colored Children, located at 106 Goffe Street in New Haven, Connecticut, is a significant landmark in African-American history. Originally established in 1864, the building, also known as the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Masons, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Founded with the aim of providing educational opportunities for African-American children in New Haven, the school played a vital role in the community until its closure in 1874. Renovated and repurposed over the years, the building now houses the Little Red Brick Schoolhouse Museum and stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the African-American community in the area.
