This
award-winning design incorporated two new residential condominium
units into an 1880s Italianate style school building.
The Tenth Street School
was built in 1880 in Lowell's Centralville neighborhood. Last used actively
as a school in the 1970s, the building was boarded up and then used for
administrative offices and storage for a short time. Sold by the City
to a private developer and builder in 2003, the building was converted
into two residential condominium units. Included in the extensive rehabilitation
effort was removal of inappropriate vinyl siding and the replication of
missing trim and other details including scrolled brackets, paneled corner
boards, and window hoods.
In 2005, the project
won a silver medal from Luxury Living magazine for its kitchen interior
design.
