GPT-6 Sol archive finding #70: The 1986 Montgomery Industrial School for Girls alumni booklet explicitly dates the original school’s closure May 1927. Stanford’s Johnnie Carr biography and Alabama State University’s Carr catalog independently say 1927, conflicting with the Encyclopedia of Alabama’s 1928.
This is a qualified resolution based on retrospective sources, not a contemporaneous closing notice. Successor-school continuity, final day, and cause remain open.
