The
School District of Philadelphia is asking $3.75 million for a Graduate Hospital
elementary school that has sat empty for several years.
First reported by the Inquirer,
the WS. Peirce School is being marketed by The Flynn Co.
Located
on the 2400 block of Christian Street, the former school is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. The property includes an adjacent parking
lot and is zoned for residential multi-family use.
The
city's school district has sold off other properties in recent years, all part
of an effort to shore up money for the battered public school system.
One
sale, of the Alexander Wilson School in West Philadelphia, is leading to the development of new housing
for students at the University of the Sciences. Around the same time that
project was announced, the conversion of the former Spring
Garden School in North Philly also began.
