30.34609442280853 -81.6668510632236 17 The Cookman School was originally at the intersection of Beaver Street and Hogan Street, but after the Great Fire of 1901, was relocated to Davis Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets. In the 1920s, the Cookman School merged with the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute, with the two together becoming the Daytona-Cookman Collegiate Institute. In the early 1930s, the name was changed to Bethune-Cookman College, and in 2007, to Bethune-Cookman University. The former site of the Cookman School is owned by Duval County Public Schools and is the location of today's Darnell-Cookman School of the Medical Arts. See Ennis Davis's 2020 article <a target="new" href="works-cited.xml#davis-2020">"Five Lost Colleges & Universities of the Inner City"</a>. The Cookman School that Muse references in <a target="new" href="https://violamuse.unfdhi.org/items/show/4">"Notes on Art in Public Schools</a> would appear, from context, to be an elementary school in operation at the time of her fieldwork in the 1930s. According to Muse, it was located "on Davis Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets," which would have been one block from the site of the former Cookman School. Corinto, Nicaragua

929 West Duval Street Jacksonville, FL
30.331910452848106 -81.66889490082454 17 The document that mentions this address (<a target="new" href="https://violamuse.unfdhi.org/items/show/92">List of Dances</a>) does not indicate whether the street is East Duval or West Duval. We have interpreted as West, because 929 East Duval does not appear to have existed (921 East Duval and 933-39 East Duval appear on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps of Jacksonville from 1949 (see <a target="new" href="https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3934jm.g3934jm_g01286194901A/?sp=55&st=image&r=0.348,0.762,0.445,0.304,0">map 36A</a>) but not 929, which would correspond to where Lafayette Street sits between those two addresses.)
