Fairhope, Alabama
FORMER INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL
The 1970's era building at the corner of Bishop Road and Fairhope Avenue that began as an middle but most-recently was an intermediate school is being demolished to make way for a new building.
A $4 million, 14 classroom addition with a gymnasium has been announced for the site as part of Baldwin County School's pay-as-you-go capital construction plan.
According to plans previously announced by the Board of Education, the addition is to become part of two K-6 schools for the Fairhope feeder pattern (Fairhope Elementary the other).
The old building had no central air conditioning and no hallways connecting classrooms, access to each was from outside.
MEMORIES ABOUND
Before demolition, classrooms stood empty, suspended in time from when classes were last held there in 2006: only some art work, and signs for encouragement remained as evidence of the generations of students who passed through.
The final school motto was, "We're all in this together," according to documents found scattered on the floor.
