[MassHistPres] PRESENT, ONGOING, LATE 19TH-20TH CENTURY SCHOOL BUILDING REUSE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

[Richard McGrath]

Greetings. I am looking for a community that has an in progress  reuse
rehab project of an old school building that I could use as a model to
present to the town of Lunenburg as an alternative to the demolition of our
early 20th century primary school.. Presently conveyance of the idea of
such a building having any use, despite many past examples of the reuse of
old school buildings in surrounding communities, has been unsuccessful. I
thought that if I had an example from a city or town that had an old school
that was presently in the act of being rehabbed, people might be able to
relate to the idea better........if they thought it was a worthwhile idea
to save and reuse the old school, then why can't we?

Regards,
Richard McGrath, Chair, Lunenburg APDC
