Sadly, as with many places scattere

Sadly, as with many places scattered atop the surface of our wonderful Earth, the John B. Gordon School took a silence-shattering fall in the year of 1995 and was left entirely abandoned. Here I was, 5 years old, just beginning my educational path, while elsewhere, entire schools were being left in the dust. It’s truly insane when I really sit down and think about it, entire student bodies being transferred and going through these rough patches, while my little suburban neighborhood was moving along just fine…well, other than the millions of dollars in debt that our school systems supposedly face, but that’s an entirely different story. Shortly after, in 1997 Inman Park Properties purchased the property for $200,000, with plans of converting it to the J.B. Gordon Lofts. As with many planned operations such as this, the building remained empty. There sat a once functioning system, forgotten for 10 years, finally foreclosed on in 2009, under a debt load of more than 4 million dollars. Good news is, it can be all yours for the low, low price of just $1.65 for 41,000 square feet.
I think it’s safe to say that nothing will be happening with this derelict beast for quite some time now, if ever…at least not until that price tag can drop a couple digits.
