The historic edifice itself will feature 44 mixed-income apartments. The large field behind the school will house 24 new townhouses with the townhomes fronting the streets and some green space behind them.
Congrats on the house. I've always liked that general area of the northside, going up from Manchester into Marshall-Shadeland and Brighton Hts. Has an old-school urban, bit of an east coast-ish vibe to me for some reason.

Used to play softball on that field years ago and would frequent the "Home Plate" bar on the corner. Glad to see new investment. Kinda unfortunate that the neighborhood will lose the ballfield though -- it always seemed to be the central gathering spot for the neighborhood.
