History: Cordova Community Center (also known as Cordova School or Cordova Elementary School) is a former school, Shelby County library, and church. Constructed in 1913 and opened during World War I, it was built by architects Max H. Furbringer and Walk C. Jones, Sr. A classroom and cafeteria wing was added in ca. 1950-55. Through fundraising and donations, local citizens purchased the building from the Shelby County Board of Education in October 1985 for $150,000. The building has been primarily used to host community events and classes, as well as the Cordova Museum. Numerous churches in the area had their beginnings in the building, using the old classrooms for Sunday school. Sports facilities include the gymnasium and ball fields for community athletics. Regrettably, revenues have decreased to the point that the building cannot continue to be maintained by the current owners, and is likely to be sold by late 2025. All who have expressed interest hope to keep it intact.
