I've often wondered why more schools are not converted into residential housing. Many of them have what would seem to be attractive features like swimming pools, gyms, workshops etc. Great to see this come on line.
"A $7.2 million renovation has turned a former Catholic school in Detroit's Banglatown neighborhood into housing. City officials and developers marked the opening Monday of the Transfiguration Place Apartments, where the 19 units are for individuals making $28,000 or less, and who will not pay more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities.
"The 21,500-square-foot building at 13300 Syracuse near East McNichols includes 17 onebedroom apartments and two two-bedroom units. Built in 1926, the former school also served as a church until 1950. It's been vacant since 2014. It is the only surviving part of a complex added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019."
