After a deal to move a local theatre company into the space unraveled last fall, the project’s developer has finally taken possession of the shutter 1909 school building.
The project would have seen Andersonville’s shuttered Lyman Trumbull Elementary School at Foster and Ashland redeveloped into 49 housing units and a new performance facility for TimeLine Theatre.
After three years of inactivity, a plan to see Andersonville’s 1909 Trumbull School redeveloped into a mixed-use project containing 49 residential units and performance space is making steady progress.
This vintage two-flat provides both the space and the quiet needed for Chris and Dondee, both part-time students with full-time jobs, to study and relax after a hard day’s work.
It's been over two years since Andersonville's Swedish flag adorned water tower was removed from the neighborhood's streetscape, but residents of the popular North Side neighborhood are still raising funds to bring it back.
A dated three-story commercial building at 5701 N Ashland looks to find new life as high-end apartments. Located just east of the proposed development at the former Edgewater Medical Center, the project includes ten dwelling units and parking stalls.
It's not exactly "steps from the Red Line and the lake" as the broker suggests, but it is certainly within walking distance to the restaurants and shops in Andersonville.
