Randolph School is a historic school in Richmond, Virginia.[3] The oldest part was constructed in 1896, with additions made in 1900, 1934, and 1952. It is a 2 1/2-story, brick school building in the Italianate style. It features a four-story entrance tower with a mansard roof, ornamental terra cotta string course, brick corbelling and window hoods. Some of the rooms retain their original tin ceilings.[4]


Randolph School's architect and builder are unknown. The building's architecture is similar to Fairmount School in Richmond, which also remains in existence.[4] The Fairmont School architectural style has been referred to as simplified Empire style with Gothic Revival details.[5]


Randolph School served an area then known as Sydney that included ironworkers and stonecutters. When it opened in 1896 tuition was $8.17, teachers earned $50 annually, and the principal $150. It became a "colored" school in 1930. Expansions added junior high school accommodations, a gymnasium, and cafeteria.[4]


It served various grades until 1970. It became a special education center until 1974, and was then closed. It was a community center for a time, since then has been rehabilitated as apartments for the elderly.[4][6]


It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 1984.[1]

amazon EC2 - How to make wp-config.php to writable? I'm using Amazon EC2 with Bitnami wordpress. I recently tried to use plugins, they install and activate well, but there are still errors. Those errors look like permission errors. Also, perhaps, how to make the whole wordpress directory writable? I'm only accessing through SSH. Some of the errors: "A definition of a siteurl or homeurl was detected in your wp-config.php, but the file is not writable. Set your wp-config.php to writable and reload this page." From W3 total Cache: Please add the error messages you get back. – Damien Feb 8 '17 at 12:42 one is: " A definition of a siteurl or homeurl was detected in your wp-config.php, but the file is not writable.
