Second Van Wyck school - 1924
The second school named Van Wyck, a large brick building with wood and plaster walls, was completed in 1924. Wings were added on either side in 1935. This building was closed in 1952 and Van Wyck students were transferred to Indian Land or Lancaster schools. The property was purchased by the Van Wyck Community Development Club on September 6,1957. During the years between 1952 and 1957 when it was not used it fell into disrepair and had to be demolished. The Van Wyck Community Building was built on this property in 1963. The location is 5036 Old Hickory Road.
The first Van Wyck school opened in 1911 and closed in 1924 after the second Van Wyck school opened. This first building, now a residence, is located at 5090 Old Hickory Road
