Significance: Christ Episcopal School covered eleven lots due to the school's educational facilities' expansion since the late 1940s. The school itself was located on lots 3, 4, 5, 7, 7-A and he playground was located on lots 9, 11, and 12 at 1428 N. Mound Street (previously 522 E. Starr Avenue). Lot 9-A served as a parking lot for the school and lots 9-B and 11-A served as part of the parking lot for the church's offices located at 1320 N. Mound Street. Most of the lots Christ Episcopal School expanded upon did not have buildings and were open patches of grass with the exception of one. Lot 12 was once 1315 Raguet Street and had a two-story, weathered wood frame house with hardwood floors that was built on the lot in 1950. It was demolished by Christ Episcopal Church to add onto Christ Episcopal School's playground. It had seen six owners before it was purchased by the church; Mamie Blount Stewart, Frank and Bonnie Richardson, Glen Rose, W. U. Kenderick, Lucille McBee Gossage, and Ford Simpson, Junior were all once owners from circa 1940 to December 20, 1975 when it was sold to Christ Episcopal Church.
