WASHINGTON, D.C.: The main staircase in the former school will be preserved as the building transitions to a senior housing facility.
While the classrooms of the school building will never again teem with children squirming in their seats practicing arithmetic, the rooms will not be vacant for long.
Soon, older men and women will settle down within the school’s walls when the community development corporation completes a renovation that will transform the school and surrounding property into a 44-unit apartment complex for low-income seniors.
