Garrison School in Rockford-- Part 3: Find a New Use

Developers Chandler Anderson and Joseph Morrissey took over the property in the mid-2000s and spent $6 million transforming the Garrison School and its surrounding property into 14 upscale lofts and townhomes.

Though they transformed much of the surrounding land. the developers preserved much of the original schoolhouse and gym, integrating exposed brick, reclaimed wood flooring and steel beams into these private residences.

In case you're interested in buying one of the townhomes, there is one listed on Trulia with 3 bedrooms, two baths and 2,717 feet of area,  It is listed at $256,900.

Studio GWA has many pictures of the lofts.  They are beautiful.

Great to have adaptive uses instead of tearing down significant structures like this.
