Grove St School

I first saw the Grove St School back in 2007, but there was a demolition crew outside of it, so I just wrote it off and forgot about it. Turns out they never finished the demo, and the building is still there almost 5 years later. Here's some quick history I found about the place.

"The only surviving one of five grammar schools built in the city's ninth ward to serve the ballooning immigrant population in turn-of-the-20^th-century Providence, the Angell & Swift-designed, two-story, red-brick Italianate structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The city-owned building closed its doors to students in 1980 and was sold in 1982. Though The owner briefly considered rehabilitating the school and later planned to raze it, the building stood largely untouched and abandoned until 2007, when local groups were outraged to see a wrecking ball damage part of the structure without the necessary historic permits."

Now it just sits there, with a giant chunk of her missing. Kind of sad, really.
