Reuse



This is one of Quincy's many school conversions that took place in the 1980s. Many schools were sold off when severe tax-cutting measures were voted into law; we have had to build 2 new schools since then . . . there may be a lesson here, children. Academy Place served as the Adams Elementary School, which was built 90 years ago.

I love the idea of repurposing old buildings.

What a nice old building. It would have been very sad not to utilize it!!!

Do you happen to know anything about the former school on Burgin Parkway, now Sunnylea Condos?

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
