[MassHistPres] Re-use of Victorian Italianate School

[Karen Van Welden-Herman]

Hi Betsy,

Andover has two schools that were adaptively reused, the  1889, Queen Anne ­
Romanesque style  Bradlee School converted to condos in 1983
http://preservation.mhl.org/149-andover-street  and the 1916 Punchard School
converted to Town Administration Offices in 1983
http://preservation.mhl.org/36-bartlet-st-0.

Good luck with your project.
Karen Herman, Chair
Andover Preservation Commission

Subject:  [MassHistPres] Re-use of Victorian Italianate School

All,
 
I am wondering if there are examples out there of any community re-using
historic school buildings.
The Town of Dracut has a wonderful 1860s school building that needs a new
use.  It¹s about 7000 square feet, a modest size and is centrally located.
The goal is to preserve it and get it back on the tax rolls in another use.
 
Thank you for any thoughts and ideas that you may have.
 
Betsy Ware
Director of Community Development
Town of Dracut, MA.
