"Recently, residents, the builders, and other got together to celebrate the building 50th anniversary at housing for Cape Ann seniors.
According to state Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, who attended the apartment building’s 50th anniversary celebration, it was the nation’s first adaptive reuse of a school building, a model that continues to thrive today.
Many residents, including a former superintendent, attended class in the building at one time. Several former teachers have lived in the Central Grammar’s 80 units as well."
