Not that I'm a big fan of DPS [[now DPSCD), but I think DPS sold Cooley years ago. A friend of a friend and her husband's group were trying to renovate it. I heard there was a fire that did considerable damage.
I'm pretty sure they never sold it, DPS has held it hostage.Quote:

Its really only the auditorium that got considerably damaged in a fire. The rest of the school is in decent shape.
What an amazing school it was. Fire damage was the Auditorium... while smoke damage hit the classroom floors... but not fire damage there...
