School District of Philadelphia selling Graduate Hospital property



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.
