Phase I of the One Westside project is being built

Phase I of the One Westside project is being built on a site with a long history of serving Chattanooga residents. While many remember it as the Youth and Family Development (YFD) building, the story of this place goes back much further.

In 1855, on Academy Hill, later known as College Hill, the first of several school buildings was constructed. The original building (photo 1), funded by the Masonic Lodge, opened as a female school known as the Masonic Academy. During the American Civil War, it became Hospital No. 1 in 1862.

After the war, the building returned to educational use and was later incorporated into the Chattanooga school system as the Second District School in the early 1870s. In 1873, the building was renovated (photo 2), and the upper floor became home to Chattanooga’s first high school.

In 1890, plans were made for a new school building at the College Hill site. The new structure opened in 1891 (photo 3) and served both schools until a fire on March 6, 1896. It was rebuilt later that year for Second District students, while Chattanooga High School relocated. The site continued operating as a school until May 16, 1945, when fires destroyed the structure beyond repair.

In 1950, the building many know as the YFD building (photo 4) was constructed and continued serving students as Second District School. In the mid-1960s, it transitioned to adult education. After years of vacancy, the building was renovated in 2013 into the Youth and Family Development Center and later used for Head Start programs.

Today, the site is entering a new chapter through One Westside, where mixed-income housing is being developed to create modern homes and support families in the Westside community. For many residents, this place holds personal memories, as generations of Westside families attended Second District School and later accessed services here. As new homes rise, we honor that history and celebrate the opportunity for families to continue calling Westside home while carrying this legacy forward.

(Special thanks to Sam Hall at ChattanoogaHistory.com and the @chattlibrary for helping preserve and share this history.)

May Partner Spotlight: @cempacommunitycare Cempa

May Partner Spotlight: @cempacommunitycare

Cempa Community Care’s mission is to champion healthy communities by providing affordable, compassionate, and high-quality care through advancing comprehensive support services and person-centered best practices.

Cempa serves as a comprehensive resource for the Chattanooga community. Not only do they have clinics to help community members with their medical, dental, and mental health needs, they also have a food pantry on site, and caseworkers who assist Cempa patients in meeting any additional needs they may have.

The clinic accepts patients with insurance, but also has sliding fee scales for those who are uninsured, or have high medical costs that their insurance will not cover. Their pharmacy is part of a program that receives medications at highly reduced prices, and they pass those savings on to Cempa patients, making costly vital medications, now affordable.

Improving health. Inspiring Change

College Hill Courts residents, are you interested

College Hill Courts residents, are you interested in expressing yourself through art and inspiring the future Westside mural? If so, then we encourage you to come to an Art Making & Info Session on Wednesday, May 13th! There will be two sessions to choose from: 11:30 am and 4:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you there and what you create! 🎨
